I think the spoon is probably from the Prussian / Polish region of the Baltic so I guess the post could get moved to other countries.

thanks for checking

Hi, I bought this spoon a little while ago from a Swedish Auction house where it was merely titled as a '17-18th century northern European spoon'. The finial is a little man with a turban and a sash with his hands folded behind his back. It is marked either CS, C-S, or GS. I lean towards GS. it meas...

Thank you for your help with this. I know without an object in hand (and my less than stellar pictures) it is not easy to accurately age an item. I am esppecially grateful for the info on the maker. I tried looking for a way to buy the book you mentioned online from a source that will ship to the US...

Harsh words? I merely told you to relax because you were text screaming at me. Second, as I stated I am the buyer of that exact box. Not a similar box but that box. That's the original listing that I bought it from. Third, the original seller probably came to this website, like you, and saw that one...

You need to relax because you're not even making sense anymore. How are these marks 'The exact definition of Hanau marks'? Only one mark lines up to the ones you're pointing to and it's based on an actual Austrian mark. None of these markings point to 1903 just because some pieces have London import...

The box you are referring to is this exact box. I have no idea where they came up with the 1903 number. The faces have actually been polished so often they are no longer discernable as faces. Her hand (The highest point of the box) has been polished so much a split has developed. I've attempted to a...

The mark you are referencing is actually an Austrian Duty-Free mark (the other mark is for Lemberg). I believe the ones you are referencing are copies of this mark. Notice how the ones you are referencing are part of the whole scheme of pseudo marks. The Austrian marks on mine are far from the origi...

I recently acquired this beautiful silver box and believe it is early 18th century Danzig. I don't know who the maker is though. The initials seem to be IBH inside of a trefoil / clover. There are also two sets of latter Austrian marks on the lid and base. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Hi, just seeing this, It looks like a good match to me. I'll see if I can find anything else on my own but this is probably the maker. Thank you so much. Just when I had little hope of finding anything.

Thanks, Peter, I didn't think so either but it was all I could think of. I don't think I've seen a Friesian trefid spoon before, at least not from the 17 century. This spoon will just end up with the other pieces of unknown origin I have. Maybe one day.

I don't mean to keep putting everything in the Dutch silver section but usually, my only lead has me lean this way. Anyway I recently acquired a beautiful old trefid spoon that is only marked with a makers mark which looks like a JR combined. It has what looks like a mirrored cipher engraved on the ...

I recently won an auction that included these two spoons which stylistically look German to me. They are both marked with the maker's mark of a conjoined LF I believe. There are no other marks. They both have reeded rattails as well. Any help is appreciated. https://i.postimg.cc/tggPMwHt/IMG-8036.jp...

This might not be Dutch at all but the style of the monogram looks exactly like the monograms on 2 of my 17-century Dutch (Frisian) spoons. The maker's mark looks like a JG or LG? Any help would be appreciated https://i.postimg.cc/mZKcShDw/IMG-8028.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/85j5RVg9/IMG-8029.jpg http...

I am not sure if the piece is old but the three crowns is the mark for the Frisian city of Sneek in the Netherlands. Peter will be able to tell you if they are real marks or not. He is the resident expert in Dutch silver, especially pseudo dutch marks

it could be silver, it's very difficult to tell based on your pictures and without it being in hand. I couldn't find anything in silver plate or silver with that maker's mark (at least in the online English references). Of the actual hallmarks, only an E is readable, the rest is very unclear. The E ...

If the engraving says 1937 (it's hard to tell) then this piece is only 84 years old. That's if the engraving is contemporary to its manufacture. But if it's not, did your family own it and then wait a few decades to have it engraved as a trophy for themselves? Is there an "A. Price" in you...

I was super excited to get this cup. It was listed as 19th century but I doubt that. The seller was just a random online seller who didn't specialize in silver. I can only guess where it comes from though. It is made of 6 parts and has NO marks or mark remnants. With the exception of the center rod ...

ok, having read some more (witness testimonials), his drunkenness is not funny but sad

Thanks, Peter, convicted for continuous drunkenness! That's very funny
