Unfortunately determining a maker with things like these is going to be nearly impossible. As to value, if they are silver, they are worth their weight in silver. Assuming they weigh 10 grams or less, about $5-10 per spoon.

Re: silver salt spoon looks real old

so the d on the underside of the cattail spoon means nothing?

Re: silver salt spoon looks real old

If there are no markings to indicate silver content , eg. "Sterling", "925" or "800" it's very unlikely they are anything but silver plated. Most places now have kiosks in malls that will test for precious metals. A marking like italy generally indicates a date of production after 1890.

Re: silver salt spoon looks real old

it wasnt common when you cast silver, to just stamp italy on it to represent fine grade silver pree 1800's?
