Need help identifying this overcup tea strainer

Hi, can anyone identify this tea strainer for me? I absolutely love it!

All I see is 69 and Y. No idea.

Sorry can’t help with the ID but it looks to me like a re purposed tea caddy spoon. Those holes look randomly punched out and the punctures unpolished to me.

Quite likely. Rough handmade.

I wonder if the mark on the back was placed there by the person who punched the holes or if that is the original maker’s mark.

It’s hard to guess. -_--___
