Some interesting info, thank you for the Company name Eric.

Watson & Newell / Watson Co.Attleboro, MA 1880-1955
Watson & Newell was founded by Clarence L. Watson
and Fred A. Newell who worked together at Cobb,
Gould & Co. (1874-1880). They expanded to Watson,
Newell & Co 1886-1895, incorporationg in 1895 to the
Watson, Newell Co. The company was renamed c. 1915
to the Watson Co. With showrooms in Chicago, New
York and San Francisco, Watson became a major
manufacturer of sterling flatware and holloware. The
mark of the flag with the H in it was for flatware made by
their subsidiary company, the Mechanics Sterling Co. Watson also made a
line of sterling holloware for Wilcox & Wagoner beginning about 1900 bearing
the sword and laurel wreath mark. When Wilcox & Wagoner folded c. 1905, Watson continued producing
with this mark until 1929. The crown/W/lion mark was used 1910-1950. Watson was acquired by Wallace
Silversmithsin 1955; their souvenir spoon dies went to J.T. Inman.

 

Here is a link with some of their souvenir spoons:

I still can't find mine, but the design of mine looks very similar to these zodiacs that were made in 1903

 

Lots here too that are similar but not the exact same one

no problem, I think the next decent warm day i'm going to dust off the detector and go search an old school yard, its a bit of a drive but from what some of the locals say it only has been searched a couple times. Hopefully i'll find something they missed

 

Absolutely, you will have to let us know what you find. Good luck and HH!
