Hello again, I was looking at another Dutch spoon on line recently and thought the maker's mark "HT" under a "spoon" seemed familiar. It brought me back to this post on the "Tarner" family silversmithing concern. I noted the the image, previously uploaded by myself, of ...

Thank you Peter for your quick "added value" response to my query.

Hello Dutch section again. I just bought myself another Dutch spoon, and not by accident. It is 12 cms long and maybe has some "art nouveaux" type patterning on its front. Importantly it has reasonably crisp hallmarks and an edit of them is shown in my 2nd photo. https://live.staticflickr....

Hello, your photo lacks some crispness in the lettering. Is it definitely "JLH"? is the lower lettering "EPC"? If so possibly electroplate on copper. I wondered if the the "H" could be "LTD" in which case James Lodge of Sheffield could be considered. Lets hope...

Hello, this spoon would appear to me to be just right for breakfast porridge. It is said to be 16 centimetres long . https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50525721997_8a47ae4bc0_b.jpg Interesting patent date "Jan 02" agreeing with "Dragonflywink's" statement but also there is a pic...

Well its the "bus" company again. One doesn't come along for years and then two come along one after the other. Teaspoon on the front this time but same number, Sheffield 1823.

Hello Mithrur, welcome to the forum. Also thank you for the crisp images you uploaded. The image that could give you an idea of the fork's maker is the mark halfway down its stem. The marks on the finial back of the fork are basically pseudo or false hallmarks to imitate real silver cutlery. The GS ...

Hello, at the last auction I viewed I snapped a few photos of the manufacturers mark on somes dessert spoons. I thought they carried some interesting electroplate marks. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50390167401_79e7f516c0_c.jpg "Yates" is a well known name in the Birmingham, England...

Hello, here is a picture from my collection of images that I have labelled as "probably John Harrison" of Sheffield. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50331334507_ddc7184edc_z.jpg This has a crown and a head like mark to add to the "cat" to nearly make a full set of pseudo hall...

Hello, TS, it is always better to "embed the image" as more people will see it. Not everybody is happy to look to another site to see an image. I have had a look though and I hope you have realised that your spoon is just silver plated and not readily datable as so much of European solid s...

W.R.Bullen Norwich Hello, this is little extra information to go with a post loaded in this section by "Dognose". That reference is: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=40531&p=114122&hilit=bullen#p114122 My information includes a synopsis of the "history&q...

Hello, below is an image of the mark on the silk of a spoon box supplied by Dyson & Sons of Windsor. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50221808066_3f4655616a_c.jpg Note, the silk likely said "Windsor & Eton", but they are like twin towns facing each other across the river Thames ...

Hello, I think there is a chance that you are going to be disappointed with with the outcome with your bit of cutlery and its marks. You have "Sheffield England" on the item meaning it is likely to have been made at the beginning of the 20th century. In fact there is a possibility of close...

Hello Inquisitive Collector, I think most collectors with an interest in silver plate would put your marks in with the "J.Gilberts" of Birmingham marks. The J.G mark being somewhat difficult to sort between John Gilbert and Joseph Gilbert. The "Gilbert" name is associated with a ...

Hello Revampvin, we have the Gothic EPNS lettering plus a Maltese cross but these were regularly used by companies up to and around the start of the 20th century. Thus the key must be the shield with the intertwined lettering. It could be the manufacturer's mark or possibly a retailer's mark. From y...

Hello again, I recently saw another nice clear set of Gladwin marks carried on a 1938 Air Ministry spoon. I am uploading those together with one of the earlier "lost" marks from 1950 to re-illustrate Gladwins' military cutlery production period. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50097141...

Hello Prospero, welcome to the forum and thank you for the crisp image of the manufacturers marks. I am describing them as "manufacturers marks" and not "hallmarks" as this is a more correct description when we can not see some form of a silver standard guarantee mark. I do have ...

Hello, I think I have another Kelantan silver item with the unknown "HY" maker mark. This is on a small condiment type spoon, 6.0 centimeters long. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50054725368_b335382433_m.jpg The spoon finial appears interesting to me as it appears in a pseudo filigree...

Thank you Theoderich for identifying "Johann Jakob Meyer" as the maker of my Hamburg spoon. I think I have an English translation corresponding to the information you have added for us. My quote is from an auction catalogue describing an item made by the "Immanuel Adalbert Notzke"...
