Your spoon is a Scottish provincial piece made by James Wright of Perth.

Thank you for the information.
I hope you won’t be offended but if you’re going to post data assertions which directly contradict assertions already made, it might be useful to provide us all the basis of your support for the counter assertion.
Otherwise it’s just going to confuse.
In this instance the second poster has made an assertion and then somebody else has agreed with the conclusion and provided supporting evidence.
It could be argued that the secondary assertion of the same Perth maker was “over-egging the pudding” and he might well have waited until you came along with an unsupported counter assertion which he could then have knocked out of the park with his evidence.
Since you have followed this somewhat less than entirely persuasive counter on two other occasions, and, without commenting on if you are correct or incorrect, might I be so bold as to urge you to spend as much time as you feel the topic deserves on reviewing printed and online evidence which assist us all with reaching conclusions?
There are posted questions on the Forum about origin where the best anybody can do is come up with a workable hypothesis. In other cases the available evidence is fairly widely accepted.
Widely accepted evidence can turn out to be completely wrong but that simply means you have to assault it with more not less rigour or the fallacy you seek to correct will thrive on your failure.
If I may illustrate; for some 300 years we believed women with powers now clearly explained by science were witches and the best thing to do with them was dunking in the village pond and if they drowned this proved they didn’t have any such powers and were innocent of witchcraft.
We now think that is rubbish but it’s amazing the number of English villages which still have their pond. En tout cas.
