    Posted are four pewter spoons, three of which have the rat tail support under the spoon dish. Look at the first photo, from left to right, I will tell you what I know of them.
    The first spoon is table spoon from the 17th century. It has a round straight handle with a blunt end. The underside has no rat tail supporting the dish.
    The second spoon is a soup spoon, a curved handle (square) with a dog's head finial at the end of the handle. This spoon features a rat tail protrusion under the dish. I believe this could be a reproduction, because it has the word Pewter stamped on the underside.
    The third spoon is a small teaspoon about 5" long, with a rat tail feature. It appears to have a hallmark and initials stamped on the underside
    The fourth spoon is of the Queen Ann period, circa 1725. It has the rat tail feature under the dish and a dog's head finial.
    Early pewter spoons were commonly made by Tinkers who bought scrap pewter and poured into spoons and other household items and resold back to their customers as new goods.
