Spoon info?

I found a spoon identical to this one posted by GaRebel. Mine has the handle broken off, so I can't find any markings. Anyone know anything about this spoon, what its made of, etc... Mine was found at the sight of a mid 1800's hotel.
 
Is there any discernible markings on it? Do you know what its made of??
 
...it's a reddish material on the inside. I think they may have called it bakelite. I'll see if I can dig it up. In the meantime, a pic of a handful of them from the link below. They seem to be a pretty common find.
 
Thanks for the pic and info Steve. You don't have to go and "re"dig it up. I was just kinda wondering a little about it. Since they seem common, I'll maybe dig a few more one day. I don't have many hours or finds with my Exp yet <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":("> , hopefully that will change this spring <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> .

...my wife got fed up and cleaned up my junk from around the house and chucked it all in a box. I think this is the one. She has no idea how valuable this stuff is. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
...this isn't the one I was thinking of, but looks like the same pattern. I've also found a couple tablespoons and a number of just the flat handles. Since these spoons weren't silver and were in pretty rough shape, I didn't pay much attention to them at the time, but now you've got my curiousity up.
 
Wow, I see you don't throw much out. My wife says I have that disease too, Packratitis. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> I can't help it, anything that is 100+ years old, is awfully hard to throw away. Those spoons all have the same designs. I like that one you posted, it's different than any I've seen. Thanks for the feedback.

I found this spoon handle on a 200 year old farm in upstate ny. It looks to be the same pattern as yours. I think it is brass plated with silver.
