I think you have found the right mark - E J Greenberg. I know of no other Birmingham marks of this period and punch shape with J in that position (it's definitely J, not S).
It's plated - by Corbell & Co of Scottsdale, Arizona. See https://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_C2.html; this does not show the exact mark on your coffee set but it is one of a number associated with the company. The lettering on your mark reads EP and NS for electroplated nickel silver.
The Libra import mark is the one used by Sheffield from 1906 to 1998 and SAO is the mark of the Sheffield Assay Office itself. This means that the importer did not register a mark of their own. The date letter is a bit obscure but I think that it might be the script G for 1974. The shape of the date...

I had my doubts about whether it is a K but it looks more like one when zoomed in on. As London date letters operated on a 20 year cycle the only X (or x) they ever used is the very distinctive one for 1997: https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/Shared/1997X.gif although there will be another on...
The comment in the book (presumably a translation of the original German) should probably be read as "made" rather than "produced" by the maker in question. The line after your highlight clarifies the point that pieces would have been produced in a workshop by employees of the ma...
The duty mark looks OK to me. Here is my exemplar of an 1809 mark: https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/1809.jpg Can I just say that it would easier to make a judgement from a "normal" picture rather than from a microscope camera picture. However it is unusual to have marks on ...
Impossible to say what was the reason for the engraved 1762. But 1767 is most definitely the assay date (or 1767/68 to be completely accurate as the assay year started at the end of May).
Date letter is "m" - 1767. Maker's mark is WT, but the name is unknown due to the very annoyingly lost registers from that period, the 1739-1758 Smallworkers' Register and the 1758-1773 Largeworkers' Register.
These spoons are a common pattern known as Old English. My speculation is that the retailer bought spoons of this standard pattern from several manufacturers and, when assembling sets, took 6 spoons from his store without checking the maker - or maybe he only had 5 (or 1) left from a batch.

Thanks for persisting and getting your images embedded. GB is definitely not George Bayly as this is an Italian mark. The six-sided figure with letters and numbers indicates the province and maker. In this case 487 FI is TU of Firenze (Florence). See https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38...
Hi and welcome to the forum. Your date letter is a bit of a mystery to me as it doesn't seem to match any of the possible M dates. My only thought is that Birmingham may have used a different style of lettering for gold and silver. Silver marks are very well documented but tables for gold don't gene...
Just to clarify the master-apprentice relationship here, Samuel Colemore was apprenticed to "Joseph Findall of Birmingham Silver plater" on 29th November 1753. An additional apprenticeship involving Joseph Findall/Fendall is recorded on 1st October 1783: William Shaw to "Joseph Fendal...
