Maker’s mark;*H.H*, Fa.(Firm) H. Hooijkaas 1874-2008; Zilverfabriek Schoonhoven . This particular maker's mark used 1946-2008

Hi,
Thank you so much for your time doing this. I spent few hours yesterday finding all marks I could and it was amazingly funny :D
So according to the facts, this spoon was made beetwen 1946 and 1953? But we cant say the exactly year, right?

Hi,
Yes, correct but probably made 1947-1948. In 1948 a lot of tourist & foreigners visited the Netherlands to watch the inauguration of our monarch Princes Juliana to become Queen of the Netherlands in September 1948.
