Description:

Wavy-end or dog nose rattail spoon with round oval bowl and straight handle with D-section shaft. No marks. Bowl pitted on face and back.

Spoons DL*388355, DL*388356, DL*388358 are identical enough that they could be from the same mold; Greenwood file could be checked to see if these spoons were collected as a group. Needs further research.
