Maker OMN in Finland

Post by Sebastian »

Please could someone tell me the maker of this 0.833 silver cake knife assayed in Turku Finland in 1960 (G7). To me it has a surprisingly classic design for 1960.

Better late than ever.
OMN is a company name i.e. Turun Hopea (Turku Silver). The company used this mark 1960-1962

Many thanks for this information about Turun Hopea Oy. I see from their website that they were founded on 13 June 1945, and that they are still in business, producing jewelry mainly. I wonder what the initials OMN mean?
Best wishes.

Hi Sebastian,

I'm afraid I don't know what it stands for. It is probably an abbreviation of something, maybe the designers name? The mentioned company use about 3 different marks. You could ask it from the company.
