Hi team,
Picked this up recently. Its a small cream ladle. My guess is probably Canadian - the HNS standing for Halifax, Nova Scotia. Although I couldn't find another example of the individual letter punches used for Halifax.
Keen to hear others thoughts or if anyone has seen this maker's mark before?
Cheers,
Ben

Re: Colonial Ladle - CG CG HNS
This is probably the mark of Charles Geddes. H N S in separate shields was also used by Benjamin Etter who was working in Halifax around the same time.
