Hello Larry,

Walker & Hall used a lower case n in 1931, but it was not in a diamond it was in a cut cornered shield. Could this be what you have?

is the word STERLING on the handle or the tines? From the picture it looks like the tines are silver plated, which is also why the letters EPNS appear. (Electro Plated Nickle Silver).

An O in a shield does narrow it down to several possible dates. However the spread of those possibilites covers 65 years, so unless you can post a picture I think that an accurate dating is almost impossible.

Replying to my own posting here, but I forgot to say that the maker's mark is a overstamp.

Anyone know this maker.

Can anyone identify this maker. The spoon is one from a set of engraved fiddle tea spoons, possibly by a Channel Islands silversmith. This idea comes from the fact that the engraving is typical of the style to be found in Jersey and also they came along with several other similar spoons by J.P.Genge...

Modern British silver plated flatware is usually plated to a thickness of between 10 and 30 microns. The more expensive sets made by the likes of Arthur Price and David Mellor would be at the 30 micron end of the scale. As a percentage of the entire piece it would be almost impossible to calculate, ...

Pots with a short spout such as this were usually hot water pots, for topping up the tea pot. Coffee pots tended to have a long spout usually coming from the bottom of the pot. Chocolate pots are not as common and are usually characterised by a hinged “flap” in the lid into which a swizzle stick was...

Just a thought here, but I remember seeing similar marks on a Canadian piece. If any one has a reference for Nova Scotia silversmiths, it might turn up something useful.

The 18gr mark would suggest that they are silver plated. This usually refers to the amount of silver used to plate flatware. In this case 18 grams per dozen.

Hello Edward,

the"Pi" mark on your piece is the Walker & Hall date letter for 1899.

Hope this helps.
