Without any other marks it is impossible to identify maker. unless someone knows teh item. Marks give no clue - also sorry

As a dane I can confirm that it is the 2 towers - sorry

I have these 2 german (I think) spoons. On front they have owners initials AS on the backsite they have 2 marks. On one spoon it says "13 + CF" on the other it says "CF + 13 with a crown" http://sv1.letmehost.com/sv1/24/thumbs/IMG_8574.JPG http://sv1.letmehost.com/sv1/24/thumbs/I...

Maker of this spoon is CP and I think it might be german. But that is only a gues. Does anyone know this?

You just missed one mark. The walking lion. I know that its common knowledge, but maybe your friend does not know.
The walking lion is british for sterling 925/1000 and called "lion passant"

Ok that a lot af silver smiths.
My interest in silver is primarily before 1900 - and even best before 1850.
But still its fun to discover and become vice.

Sugar sifter - that was the word I was looking for.

By the way its not for tea its for sugar.
You use it for decorating things with fine suger.
On top of a cake or like.

Sorry I have a spoon with the same mark and pattern I soppose its from 1970-1980. But thats my guess.

The company was established in 1934 and closed 72 years later.

Yes the duck is included in the Norwegian marks. Brødrene Mylius
Kragerø
NM stands for "Norsk Mønster" which is "Norwegian Pattern" in english

OK cant understand why they do not open. They do on my computer. However JS mark - you dont have to open. Its easy to see.
I am sorry but I do not know the 3rd mark.
You have the time - so thats a place to start maybe someone else can identify.

Thank you for the reply.I will try to get that book. Regarding the subject - it is not realy mentioned in Denmark (or Sweden for that matter) Its a Duch expresion.

It is not sterling - Sterling is 925 and 3 towers is (at least) 830. So silver it is. Or 13 1/4 lod (lod is the old term used for centuries) 3 towers is used since 1608 and yours if from 1950 - you can see it from 50. 13 1/4 out of 16 - where 16 is 1000. SJ is the guardein. look here http://www.925-...

Hello Tom TVENSTRUP is the name of the silversmith. In Denmark the official way was 4 marks. 1 for the smith 1 for month 1 for town and 1 for guardein. This was valid for Denmark (and Norway) but only in Copenhagen this was carried out. A few of the big cities also tried to do the same - but not wit...

Thanks Patrick I have been searching for the mark after your first post. I have however not been able to find it. And then you had.
