American Pseudo Marks?

Hi all, I got this pair of shakers in Pennsylvania thinking they were English. They're not (the crowned leopard's head and the duty mark are incompatible I think). Are they American? If so, is there any way to find out a rough date and maker without a maker's mark? http://f.imagehost.org/0352/Shaker...

Thanks for the possible makers.

Unfortunately I don't know anything of the history of the spoon, it was bought at a small antiques auction about 10 years ago.

If anyone else has an opinion, please let me know,

Cheers,

Ben

Mystery Spoon

Hi there, I am after any information about this spoon I bought a number of years ago. I think it must be European (it doesn't seem to match any type of English Spoon). It is quite light and is marked simply with the makers mark of CH in fancy script. Can anyone shed any light on how old it is, where...

Further retailer info.

Hi there, What an interesting project! I really enjoy collecting Irish silver, and this adds another dimension I hadn't thought of. I have three pieces, names you already have, but if you want to keep track of them on the list of occurences: BROWN on a rat-tail ladle, made by WC in 1820 M.WEST on a ...
