Hello "musilver", I guess you must have worked out this fork is silverplated as its image has turned up in the silver plate section. I hope you have not lost interest in it now though as I think there is information to be gained here for a lot of us. The manufacturer's mark is likely to be...

Hello, it is possible to see a maybe anchor mark, or a large lower case "e". I am with Peter though that the candle stick does not look to have a full set of Birmingham hallmarks on. It might be possible to improve the clarity of the marks with a tooth brush and warm washing up water. That...

W.Leslie & Co Ironmongers, 2 Chowringhee Road, Calcutta The W. Leslie & Co. business was founded in 1890 in Calcutta, likely by "William Leslie" and a statement premises, "Leslie House" was built in 1912. After the founder passed away, his sons, Kenneth and Mark Leslie c...

Hello again, our forum has the "H.D" mark attributed to "Henry Dennery" of New York circa 1810-20. It is possible the evidence for this is not overwhelming. There is another reference on line of the same marks on a butter knife, and another post on Forum but with lost images. Wha...

Hello. I've had a look. Do please post it for everybody to see. You will get a answer. Every "silverphile" in the USA will be interested to see the mark and the broken utensil.

Hello over the last 2 or 3 years I have been saving images of this "Pluro Silver" trade name with the hope of finding the associated originating concern (and my close family are suggesting I am a bit of a sad person for doing that). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987499415_a66b3c55e...

Hello, welcome to the Forum. A little bigger/enlargement of the makers marks could better confirm the information we can give you. Is the lettering "CSC"? The crown pictorial mark may indicate it should be. "Crown Silver Co" could be the maker. Silvercollection.it offers the date...

I thought this could be an interesting image to add to this, all be it, old post. It shows marks from a 1854 Newcastle spoon, 2 years into Gowland Brothers working (or retailing) period. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51975114159_5f38fd1c3d_z.jpg This is an obvious overstrike of another silvers...

Thank you Peter, I can label my spoon now. You were too quick, I must try to find you something harder to research next time. I have 2 more spoons to photograph and sort when I get round to it so I hope they are a bit more of a brain teaser for you.

Hello, I have another Dutch spoon in my spoon box. A very nice looking 13 cms long spoon. With its styled "K", I worked out before I bought it, that it should be a 1819 spoon. I thought "Pieter Geijskes" a silversmith in Schoonhoven with dates 1812 to 1816 was a likely maker. His...

Hello, worried I might possibly have "erased" my first image.

Hello, this image appears the a progression of the Bruce Russell of Guernsey silvermithing concern. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51953435957_8370d25570_b.jpg It is now is Bruce Russell & Son, with a son "Simon". This mark looks like "SR" in the island of Guernsey. Not ...

Hello Marblehorse, did you research the bird mark as maybe a "Phoenix" mark? Or maybe a family crest mark?

Hello, I was just fortunate to get this 12 loth spoon and I think it is another image that should be with this thread. It appears a Konigsberg spoon as it has that town's crowned 12 loth mark to go with the "regular" 12 mark in a square. Is it unusual to have 2 different loth marks? I know...

Sorry to come back to "Dawson Ltd" but I think this composite might be an informative additional image. I am wondering whose mark "D(S)Ltd" could be? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51914634296_59a42a7e5d_c.jpg In the upper set of marks there is the broad arrow again indicati...

Hello, I am not a font of information on the subject, but could we be thinking Scottish provincial silversmiths? For the "WC" we have William Clarke of Greenock whose mark is shown as in an "ovalish" cartouche, William Constable of Dundee and William Craw at Canongate. Interestin...

Hello, to me this spoon looks a bit less utilitarian than much of the "Deakin" cutlery you see. Perhaps low volume item, decorative spoon with twisted stem, maybe a more obvious manufacturers mark deemed the more appropriate addition. Just one idea and probably there could be others to com...

Hello, I came across a spoon with manufacturer's marks in gothic lettering and I concluded were marks of the Horace Woodward concern. They are part of the composite image below.

Hello, this appears to be a teaspoon box of this A.P.Roger concern. It was associated with some 1975 Birmingham made spoons. Those spoons seemed to be by an "unknown" maker whose mark has been noted previously 1975- 1981. I do not know if the box and spoons were always together though. htt...

Thank AG2012 for the additional reply.
