You are a very nice antique sterling silver serving spoon with the maker initials B S & F (for Black, Starr & Frost).  There is also a Letter D for Durgin who operated between 1880 and 1905 and acquired the B S & F business.  So, I cannot provide other than an approximate time period for this piece of circa 1900 and possibly as early as 1880.  This is a short handled spoon with ornate decoration.  It is uncleaned or polished but could be polished by the purchaser.  I note no condition problems other than age patina and indications of light use.  It is otherwise in .  It contains a monogram at the upper end of the handle.  A very nice antiqueBlack, Starr & Frost/Durgin  sterling silver serving spoon.
