Hi, I still have a question regarding the possible date of this spoon. There appears to be three different dates on the spoon. 1755, 1822, and 1808. Was it common to add engravings to items for each birth? If that is the case, could I be safe in assuming that the spoon was made around 1755 and the o...

I think I can make out some of the words in the engraving. One line seams to read liukke douwes is geboaren DE the rest is worn off around the top of the spoon then on the other side of the spoon is continues (it looks like january but the first could of letter is worn) j 755 tot oostenemo. Then the...

Here is another picture I hope it is clearer. Thanks

From my research I believe the sword mark next to the hallmark makes this a Dutch spoon. Can anyone identify the hallmark next to the sword? Also am I correct is guessing that this is a funeral spoon? http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll243/lesiamh33/dutchspoonswordmark0001.jpg" onclick="window.ope...

Hi Doos, There is engraving around the back of the spoon. It is in dutch and a lot of it is worn. Here is some pictures http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll243/lesiamh33/marriagespoon0007-1.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll243/lesiamh33/marriag...

Doos, thanks for the help. I am new at this so I want to be sure I understand. The crowned O would mean that this spoon is earlier than 1807 and the dolphin mark was added later.
Should there be other marks on this spoon or was is typical to only have a makers mark. Thanks again

The pictures of the makers mark may be to small to see so I am adding a link http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll24 ... on0011.jpg
