Re: 18th century French? silver knife

I think maybe Portugal but the Crowned L didn't match any in my book. I know Portugal and England had strong trading ties for a long time

18th century French? silver knife

I bought this knife because who doesn't love a good mystery? The blade is English by Makepeace & ?arker. The pummel of the knife is marked with 3 marks. One of them is a crowned L. The other marks look like ?AMON ???HOL and ?ABARRO. the knife is 9" long and the handle is definitely filled. ...

17th century Swiss Spoon, Herisau?

I was very fortunate to pick up this old Swiss spoon which I believe comes from the city of Herisau but I am not at all certain of this. The style of the spoon was very popular in the nearby city of St. Gallen. https://i.postimg.cc/5yX46K8q/IMG-0410.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/76YYyZ6R/IMG-0411.jpg htt...

Re: 17th century Enkhuizen spoon?

Thanks, Peter, hopefully, one day the silver of the region will get more attention, and the silversmiths of the region are finally identified.

17th century Enkhuizen spoon?

I just picked up this old spoon on a whim, didn't have great pictures in the listing. I believe it is 1662/3 or 1665/6 Enkhuizen but I don't know of any resources for this town that was once prolific maker of spoons. https://i.postimg.cc/Y0xfHC0c/IMG-0157.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/6QGrQ0qf/IMG-0158.j...

1735 Munich Beaker

I picked up this nice little German beaker. I think the marks are for Munich or possibly Hereford. The engraving is dated 1735 and is christening or baby cup to Theodorus Augustus Burglen from his grandfather. I do not know if its from Munich for sure and I don't know who the maker is https://i.post...

18th century Frisian spoon

I have another mystery spoon with this other Frisian spoon. I assumed it was early 18th century but my book on Frisian silver has the mark as being from Bolsward silversmith Frans Arians Riemersma who worked between 1620 to 1674? This seems way too early for this style of spoon. https://i.postimg.cc...

17th or 18th Century Rotterdam spoon?

I just recently picked up a couple of Dutch spoons and I believe this one is from Rotterdam but I do not have any books about Rotterdam silver. I believe it dates from either 1676 or 1700. At first, I thought the piece was from Deventer but the bird mark is the maker's mark. If anyone can shed some ...

1740's Moscow Silver Beaker

I recently picked up this pretty little Russian beaker with a slightly blurred Moscow mark where I can only read the 174 but not the last number. I also don't know who the maker or assayer is. https://i.postimg.cc/8sJzwJ50/IMG-8695.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/z3sXQzHX/IMG-8696.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/...

17th century Italian Spoon?

I recently won this spoon at auction which stylistically looks Italian. It is marked but I do not recognize this mark. If anyone is capable of shedding any light on this I would appreciate it. https://i.postimg.cc/dDTVnPfm/IMG-8670.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/D8kyMpkV/IMG-8671.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/...

1658 Swiss or German Spoon

I recently won this spoon. I believe the engraved date is contemporaneous with the spoons manufacture. It is hallmarked PRX?
