Jobe Rose jewelery co. spoon

Here is an interesting piece I picked up today, A large spoon / ladle marked Jobe Rose Jewelery Co. Sterling Pat. 1898. (for 2.50 weighs 54.8 grams) also a hair brush (also 2.50) marked with a W with an arrow thru it and Sterling. The spoon markings look English to me (see last pic), any idea of dates? Jobe Rose was a Birmingham Alabama Jeweler.

 

The spoon is a Gorham pattern. The brush is Webster.

Well...kind of like British marks; they were meant to resemble the British ones but they're molded rather than stamped. Gorham did that on purpose.

 

Thanks all, that info helps a bunch. I am always amazed what people put out at garage sales!

 

Every once in a while, you get goofy stuff.
