I just noticed that there is a sword next to the stem ... it looks like style # D on the dutch hallmark page on this site, but I can't get a good enough picture to blow up large enough on my monitor to confirm. This would also support the 1890-1910 aging.

The maker's hallmark is either W.L or W.K .... but it is pretty blurry

I think the second mark is an Anchor (of some shape or flavor)

The third mark might be something like this (pardon the poor MS Paint drawing)



However, it might be sideways ....

I'm posting this in the Dutch silver section because I believe that these are dutch based on the family history behind them. However, feel free to move it to the correct forum if I'm wrong.

I'm having difficulty (read: no luck yet) even distinguishing the hallmarks on this set of spoons. They are ...

Looks close .. but not quite exactly the same. I've already fired off an e-mail to the company. Once that comes back I'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks for the information. I will give them a shout via e-mail and let you know of the results.

Thanks for the information. However, I am still unable to locate any more information about this pattern. Nor can I decipher the date marking. I don't imagine that these items are very old - mainly because of the single die striking of the hallmark. My curiosity has the better of me at the moment.

Greetings,

I'm fairly certain that this item (and it's kin) are silverplate. However, after spending hours looking through 1000's of patterns I cannot seem to locate the country of origin, the maker, or when it was made.

Any help would be appreciated.
