Hi, It is the town mark of Stettin / Szczecin (18th century) and the Prussian tax mark for old items. The maker is not known to me. In my humble opinion the bowl seems to have been altered in the mid or late 19th century . The cast neo-roccoco flower decoration does not seem to fit. Hope this helps!...

Hi, This spoon was imported to Sweden between 1. 1. 1913 and 1. 7. 1988, when the import mark three crowns in an oval was used. After 1988 it is no longer mandatory to use it. http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv301/JAKJO/1januari1913Den1juli1988blevkontrol.gif . I guess that your spoon was importe...

This is in Dutch or perhaps in Frisian a so called roomlepel or roomlepeltje. The marks are in my opinion spurious or in a another word pseudo-marks made to look like the pyr of Augsburg and the Dutch re-assaying mark of 1807 the crowned "O". I know that the firms of Hanau have been produc...

Hi,

I assume that your lovely brooch is made by Jørgen Jørgensen, master in Kolding, Denmark between 1893 and 1937.

The maker's mark is perhaps C.V.C.L. and that was C. V. C. Larsen, who was a master in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen between 1909-1937.

I would consider this as a skønvirke brooch made by a Danish, to me unknown maker, C.V.O.L. The mark "D sledge/ hammer A" is the mark of the The National Association for Danish Enterprise (Landsforeningen Dansk Arbejde). Established in 1908 as a private and independent organisation to sup...

I assume that the country of origin is Germany, the mark in the middle is the crescent and the crown. I do not recognize the maker's mark. The used niello technique is often seen on Russian cigarette cases.

Hope this helps!

It is my qualified guess that the sugar spoon is made by Heinrich & Nielsen in Kolding, Denmark. The company was founded in 1844 by Godtfred Christian Heinrich (born 1816, master 12. 12. 1844, died 1878) and Johan Christian Nielsen (born approx. 1815, master 25. 5. 1855, mentioned 1867, died ?)....

This spoon is actually Danish and made by Carl Christoph Rode in Aabenraa in the southern part of Jutland near the German border. C. C. Rode was born in 1826, became a silversmith 16. 5. 1855 and died in 1902 (Chr. A. Bøje, Danske Guld og Sølvmærker før 1870. Politikens Forlag 1954 page 157 mark...

The spoons are produced by A. & B. A. Meijer in Schoonhoven. The letter "M" on the Minerva´s helmet is the assay office of Schoonhoven.
I can not read the year letter. The silver standard was 833/1000 until 1953 and after 835/1000.

Hope this helps!
