    I got a batch of old spoons yesterday. One the mark will never again be readable. The rest were relatively easy to find. I have found smiths with intials JJ, but no example of this stamp.

    Terry, I couldn't find an early JJ American doing coin. I wonder if it's the Australian silversmith Jacob Josephson in operation in the "Australia Colony c. 1820." The following link says he used "English pseudo hallmarks" as well as JJ. Your spoons don't have the pseudo marks, but the JJ punch looks similar.
    Good 1/2 way down the page:

    Here is more about him. Seems he was a convict silversmith.

    I didn't know anyone ever left debtor's prison alive.


    Although quite a similar mark, the vertical lines of the Js are different.
