I came across this mustard spoon marked in a lozenge ‘Boin’ no other symbols in the lozenge. Is this the mark of Georges Boin? I cannot find reference to this mark online so if anyone could help give a rough date also it would be great. It’s also marked for 950 silver. https://i.postimg.cc/ZKJ2nmbP/...

You’re very welcome it’s a beautiful object. I wish I could find something like this!

Those dates are birth and death so his working period is closer to the later part. Hopefully you’ll be able to find out better dating for it.

It’s made by Lauritz Pedersen Juel from Oslo 1654-1683

This little pictureback teaspoon I think is from Newcastle and possibly by Samuel Thompson but it doesn’t quite match his mark, any thoughts? https://i.postimg.cc/LstpJ3bT/0-C19-A93-F-5-B47-4252-8-D9-B-C807161-A2-BC0.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/gJGP869P/3-B94-EF09-7-FA9-4666-BC9-D-33-E15-FA933-AD.jpg h...

Is that another mark on the top right back of the spoon? Dots around another mark? Or is it just uncleaned?

The style of spoon is exactly the same as some of my German spoons from the late 19th early 20th century too.

I did check the Norwegian books but nothing there also.

I can’t see these as Finnish marks and I’ve checked and cannot find a Hagberg in Finnish references. Qrt.S who answered above is extremely knowledgeable with Finnish marks so he would have said if he thought they were too. I’m almost feeling suspicious about these marks as they just don’t add up but...

This is the Jug from which I posted the marks earlier. It was sold online a while back.

From my knowledge they would fit if they were Swedish 18th century marks (1771 & 1766 for my photo). Ulricehamn would seem to be correct but the marks seem much later?

Needs somebody who’s more familiar with Swedish marks, hopefully they will will be able to help more.

It seems an S.Hagberg existed as there’s other work by him, this photo is from a cream jug. So far I can’t find anything more but still looking.

I think Johan Fredrick Steenberg from Larvik, Norway.

I think this is a crest for a Marquis but having looked through hundreds of online family coats of arms I haven’t found out who it is. If somebody recognises or can give a hint where to search next it would wonderful. https://i.postimg.cc/xdzz6dp8/2941-F0-ED-9-A49-43-AA-A53-F-71192-A6-D8565.jpg http...

I have this tablespoon which is marked L.SCOTT but has Austrian style shoulders that are quite rounded. Anyone know who the maker is and where from? https://i.postimg.cc/nLmSnnbm/50918-F7-F-3-D3-C-494-E-84-DB-2-A59-C19-D8-C21.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xTbzx8KL/9415271-D-7364-40-CB-BF2-B-01927-A463-C6...

I have this bottom marked teaspoon which is Scottish in style but has engraved owners initials sideways on like American spoons. It’s marked IC but the C is very odd. Not sure if this is Colonial or Provincial Scottish? Any help would be great. https://i.postimg.cc/52sV3kLQ/02-BFE8-CC-46-BF-41-A8-8-...

I have this Swiss fiddle pattern tea spoon from Lausanne, Switzerland and it’s marked F.G Can anybody tell me who the maker is please? https://i.postimg.cc/prGhxdzP/13-D6-AD55-393-F-45-E3-9-EBE-BA50-C3-AD2-F04.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RCXnwg82/20309-DE6-15-F0-486-C-B8-E6-5-C4677-D386-FB.jpg Thanks, ...

Ah it’s a bird, I did wonder what it was but the punch was so small and hard to make out.

Many thanks Paul much appreciated.

This is a dinner fork but can’t seem to find the pattern. Am I right in thinking this is early Tiffany? https://i.postimg.cc/pL03D6V3/8-F0-D8-A70-7807-481-D-B1-E5-E957-E3-DA70-C4.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/YShZ8zh0/BBBD6118-AAF7-4-D0-E-9-B8-B-EA1-EFA21-BBA7.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Vks308wj/F9-A90-CFD...

The makers mark has been punched twice and turned up the other way on the second punching. Can you make out what’s underneath? The A punch too has been struck at an angle possibly it was some letter plus A?

I know the maker Geraldo Pace and the Maltese cross but haven’t got reference to the other marks, can anybody tell me what the other marks are? It’s a really nice tablespoon in unworn condition. https://i.postimg.cc/JnmBFCMq/6350-FF73-BEC1-40-DD-9-C98-20-B10-FD4-F060.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/gJD6Ft0...
