Re: Mystery Hallmark

Welcome to the forum. I’d say it’s strictly the company’s choice. Whether the number is there or not is of no consequence to the consumer.

Large Austro-Hungarian Ladle

Looking for information about the marks on this ladle. The Diana head has an A to the right of it and a 3 under it. The maker’s mark, if that’s what it is, may be upside down. Also anything about the style will be appreciated. https://i.ibb.co/3TtTz9M/IMG-3406.jpg https://i.ibb.co/4SjpPHm/IMG-3418.j...

Re: Non-Meriden phoenix?

The trademark is crude and simplified as you say, and yet I believe it is still Meriden. Manufacturers did vary and simplify their marks as time went by.

Re: Souvenir Spoon Manufacturer P. E. K. & ? Question

Thank you buffalorobert. Now that you’ve given me the name, I have been able find out quite a bit about Peter E Kern. He seems to have been very enterprising and successful during his decade or so in Skagway.

Re: Hanoverian Spoons Identification

Thank you Phil. Turns out that just as I had feared, I had already asked this question and of course received the same answer. Maybe my eyes were better the first time because then I even recognized the letters of the maker’s mark.
Thanks again. They are beautiful little spoons.

Hanoverian Spoons Identification

These are a couple of small spoons with marks that look British. They look to me like quite a challenge to identify, but wonders do happen on this site all the time.

Lullaby

I bought a porringer today that is marked Lullaby Sterling and S259. Looking into the Lullaby trademark has made me suspicious of the way many people refer to items by Lullaby Sterling because it’s too varied. Listing what I think are discrepancies probably won’t accomplish much. Instead here is wha...
