Re: Please Help Identify E. F. Wilson and DP Hallmarked Teaspoons

I should have asked how you searched this to find the info. I do believe you are correct. This spoon was purchased out of Rochester! E F Wilson seems likely to be the New York silversmith Edwin Franklin Wilson. Where did you find that information? I have been looking all day and have found nothing.

"JK" Please Help Identify Coin Silver Manufacturer

JK is what I can make out. Assuming the other mark is a pseudo English mark since the date and purity marks are absent?
