According to Laughlin : Handle type typically found in New York and New England, late 18th - early 19th century.

In vol 2, page 86, Laughlin suggests that the handle is cast from the 17th century mould of Massachusetts pewterer Samuel Grame, which passed down to Thomas Badger or Samuel Green [of Boston].
