Re: Help with RJK Maker's Mark on Alice's White Rabbit Salt Spoon
These rather poorly cast 'RJK' salt spoons (there's also an 'Alice in Wonderland' thimble of even lesser quality) have been showing up recently, and despite some sales descriptions as 'rare' and 'antique', they're neither. The majority of these are found from the same seller on two venues (with diff...

Re: Help with set by F. H. Clark
Just to be clear - this is Gorham's 'Josephine' pattern, patented in 1855, produced with their new at the time steam drop-press, and retailed by F.H. Clark & Co. - the marks are typical. From Carpenter's 'Gorham Silver 1831-1981' (1982): https://i.postimg.cc/wTycZCKn/gorham-josephine-page-281-ca...

Re: Unusual Tomato Server FHW?
Eh, this piece is not pre 1860 American coin, and being unmarked, it should be moved to silverplate, but from the look and your description, suspect it may be silver and American, so will move it to the after 1860 sterling forum despite the lack of marks. To my eye, it appears to be a piece made by ...

I'd guess 'WEISS' - German from perhaps Schleswig-Holstein, maybe Kiel?

Re: "Bangkoksia" mark on Thai niello bracelet
Though this may be an earlier piece, the heyday for Siamese niello jewelry was post WWII, with 'Siam' used on the niello and enamel jewelry, etc., as well as the ubiquitous bronze flatware sets, for decades past the last official name change to 'Thailand' in 1949 - my Vietnam Vet brother sent a pair...

Re: Gorham Tea Caddy Spoon Unknown Secondary Mark
What you're referring to on your link to Giorgio's site is just examples of Gorham's trademarks with the dating of the item they were found on (the site does have the date marks on a separate page), various pieces produced in the same year could have the trademark stamped with a different punch. Gor...

Re: Gorham Tea Caddy Spoon Unknown Secondary Mark
Hi Pam. Gorham date marks weren't struck on all pieces, but in particular, they were very rarely struck on flatware pieces, so wouldn't really expect to see one on your piece. Bit curious where your 1904 or 1914 dating came from at all, the date marks for those years don't resemble each other, and t...

Hi - perhaps it's my failing vision, but where is the date mark? (All marks should be posted.)

Hi - welcome to the forums. Your image is a bit unclear for me, but feel pretty sure it's the trademark Wilcox Silver Plate Co. (International Silver) used on their sterling goods- the clip below is from a 1904 trade publication. ~Cheryl https://i.postimg.cc/L4Zb3cyH/wilcox-sterling-mark-1904-JC-Tra...
