Thank you Trev I am sceptical, very sceptical. There are similarities but I have uploaded a bigger version of the mark at the rear of the coffee bean finial. I do not recognise the last "3" as the "S" in you photo. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/zZ0_hUJ1CaznKaJbn_3akzH98F4n43s...

Hello I have seen a previous post concerning Brazilian silver hallmarks. Please note photos below. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vaCL1fD26aRE2gRAVT_ZuTxPm0JSk9fVgHcFbuGr7o=w299-h207-p-no The song says there is an awful lot of coffee in Brazil but did the Brazilians also put a coffee bean on a f...

Hello, thought I would try another of my silver plate queries. This possible makers mark is on a standard type dessert spoon. I believe the spoon is silver plated from wear marks on the finial. I have not found an obvious UK maker though it maybe that the “mark” is for a retailer. https://lh4.google...

Hello. Is this possibly another spoon with one of these Durham based Mercy Ashworth "dot" MA marks?

Thank you Trev for your rapid and value added answer. I am disappointed I was wrong again. Perhaps I should go back to fishing. The upside is however that I seem to own an over 200year old Exeter spoon. From my understanding of Miles Harrison’s Exeter cartouche article, this spoon cannot have been a...

Hello I was recently looking at my spoons and this led to me rechecking one of my “contentious” teaspoons. It challenged me to review its limited hallmarks. The photo of the marks on the teaspoon is hopefully shown below. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-IIQtRhi3Zd8/UtA_9VysayI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/p9AkdEk...

Hello very recently I got at auction a bunch of souvenir spoons. Most were routine silver plated examples but 2 spoons stimulated a bit of extra interest for me. Hopefully readable pictures of 1 of the spoons and marks are shown below. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/E5KcCAiFH6pFAIyqIOAcRQufBQBy4I...

Hello. I just found in an auction mixed lot, what appeared to be a boxed set of 6 silver coffee spoons. That was until I had a careful look at the hallmarks. The spoons were made by “Atkin Brothers” of Sheffield but there are different date letters. Hopefully the photos are below. https://lh4.google...

Thank you for your comments and extra info Trev. Thank you for agreeing with me this time. It would be nice if there were some other evidence to go on. I had hoped the registered type number on the spoon might be that. Is there anything other than date researchable with the number? Thanks again for ...

“F.W” Silver plate mark. F.Wilson or F.Whitehouse Hello I’ve just bought a bunch of mixed flatware from an auction to give me something to research during the UK winter nights. I didn’t get very far however as straight away I found a complication over some maker marks on a spoon so I’m turning to th...

Thank you DianaGaleM for your added imput, particularly for consolidating those points I had remembered about some continental silver plating methods.

Thank you Dognose for adding more insight on the "industry" but none the less giving me more disappointment.

Hello,I have just acquired a a few electroplated "salt" type spoons that I believed I was familiar with the makers marks for. The spoon I was most confident about was the one shown below with it's "marks" in the inset photo. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-26l0-o1qpdo/UhKNpKHv...

Hello and thank you Oel for such a prompt reply to my query. I was undecided as to the silversmith type mark being “BS2” or “RS2” but at that time and still now I have not been able to make the Dutch silversmith web site work for me. I am listing a larger image of the marks. https://lh4.googleuserco...

Hello I recently obtained, as interesting, the 9 centimeter long probable apostle spoon shown below. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/rSgPYyqhCdcwvgnE88ehuSqW-5FhjUSCYahFmJ0c6nU=w389-h200-p-no It does not obviously appear British silver or silverplate. I believe it is a silver spoon but I am lookin...

Thank you Cheryl, Bahner and Trev for your particularly prompt and expansive replies. It seems I will have tell my friend he was correct in his assertion that Antiko 800 represents a grade of silver and not a form of silver plate. Am I the only person that did not know that was true? At least I know...

Hello I wonder if anyone from the forum can help with some confusion I have had over some terminology regarding foreign silver plate. I originally had a souvenir spoon from Oberammergau and the back of the finial is shown below. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/itzqjOmEpRP7n4HDk7wpzoUm8EJDPFbgLwFPK...

Thank you Silvermakersmarks, a quick response and totally comprehensive for my problem. Have you been asked that question before? When viewing your reply and able to compare your great images it is easy to note differences between the upper and lower case letters. The upper case “W” is not show on m...

Hello again. I cast my net for silver spoons at an auction recently, but I failed, for the lots I wanted. To avoid total disappointment I bid on and won some relatively mundane tea type spoons. I did think they were mundane until I came to identify the marks. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/CxUyG8...
