Schleswig-Holstein spoon w/red glass stone - HOG

Post by dragonflywink »

Hoping to find the maker on this nice if well used spoon, just under 9" (22.8 cm), town mark appears to be Kiel or Schoenberg or thereabouts, and the maker 'HOG'. The pricked engraving looks to read, 'C.H.Bartram 1832.', thought it might possibly be a captain's spoon, the name seems English, and there was a George Bartram who founded a ship building firm in Sunderland in 1837, but my research pretty much stalled there...

Any help is much appreciated.

Could it have been aquired to mark a birth? Got a Cinderella Bartram born "circa 1834" on the Atlantic seaboard north of you from a Bartram family history (completed 1974)...all settled up by back holler and Kantuck areas.

Thanks for the effort, but seems extremely unlikely that this spoon was christening gift for a little girl in America - truthfully, my searches were focused on the shipping industry.

Hopefully one of our European members can come up with the maker...

Not a good match, but it might be worth looking at the notation that goes along with the Kiel, Germany mark: http://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_b1884_4.html

But I got the information of B.Zeitzschel, it is Neumünster

maker [HOG] = Hans Otto Ganzer

Thank you so much, Theo. A quick search finds that you already have the mark - really do miss your site, any hope of it being back up in the near future?

And thanks, Silverly - was aware of the similarities in some Schleswig-Holstein marks...
