From ” London Silver Spoonmakers” by Tim Kent
“The first half of the 16th century was dominated by the specialist spoonmaker who used as his mark a fringed “S”, which has been noted on many spoons between about 1510 and about 1545. I believe that almost certainly this man can be identified as William Simpson “
