I recently purchased a collection of Silver Flatware to help settle an Estate. Included were a knife and fork that are of Russian origin, I believe. I believe that the marks indicate that the silver is 84 zolotniki, Josef Sosnkowski - Assayer, Warsaw, Petrograd (anchor) mark. The knife has a Gerlach...

Thanks again! Eventually, I will get the hang of this!

Hey Trev:

I have done as you asked!

THANK YOU! You guys ARE the best! The Family IS Scottish, but landed in Pennsylvania before the Civil War (they think). I have ANOTHER spoon from this Family dating to 1824 (I think) that is DEFINITELY Scottish as it has a "Full Set" of Hallmarks, including the Scottish Thistle and the Mak...

https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Hello All: One more "find" for me that I need your collective assistance with, PLEASE. This teaspoon (?) measures ~6.25 inches long. I THINK that it MAY BE the work of Thomas Shields, but I would appreciate an (...

You guys are AMAZING!!!

I have ANOTHER American (?) spoon that only has INITIALS as hallmarks/touchmarks that I will be asking about soon!

Again, MY THANKS!

FASCINATING!

I live ~20 minutes from Buffalo, NY and the spoon came from a VERY OLD Estate even closer to Buffalo, NY! THANK YOU for your help!!!

I am trying to identify the maker of this American (?) Silver Spoon. The hallmarks are worn, but to me anyway, they look like "an arm holding a hammer" "some sort of animal on a platform" and "an eagle." There is a name written in English on the handle - Sarah Heire(?) ...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Hello: I acquired several large German (I think) Serving or Tablespoons at an Estate Sale and am looking for ANY information regarding them. The spoons measure ~9.25" long, are VERY similar, and bear the Danzig City ...

Hi! I'm looking for the identity of the Manufacturer, pattern name, age, etc. of this spoon (and other that I have like it), please. ANY info would be appreciated. The table spoon measures ~ 7 1/4" long and the back stamp reads "1856 WM. WOLTGE.RB" Does that mean anything to anyone? T...

I am REALLY GRATEFUL for the intelligent information that you (and Trev) continue to provide me! I realize that we will never be able to answer all of the questions surrounding this piece, but I am MUCH MORE comfortable that this is REALLY as old as it appears. (Understand that to us folks in "...

THANK YOU! I continue to be amazed by and grateful for the information that you and Trev have been able to find AND willing to share!

The basket measures ~7 ¼” long by ~3 ¼” wide by ~3 ½” high (to the top of the handles). It weighs approximately 5 troy ounces of Sterling Silver.

Will Do!

THANK YOU MUCH for your note! I have been pursuing WHO the people named on the basket were and how the related to one another, as I had come to a dead end with the Hallmarks. One question though, IF the basket was originally gifted in 1781 as inscribed, wouldn't the Second Earl of Dartmouth been pre...
