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

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.

Paul.

Thanks to you both we now have some detail on Charles Geddes:

(And thanks Trev for the extra info).

I love this forum.
