Thought I’d share this spoon it’s only the second old piece of Maltese silver I have found. The spoon obviously came back to the UK and the kind Victorians ‘enhanced’ it. Berry spoons as nice as they are, are not useable to eat your cornflakes with in the morning! This one though was really one I ha...

Came across this teaspoon and the mark was not a familiar one to me. Couldn’t find much about the silversmith and even less of his work, the only work was dated around 1785. Anyone know anything about his working period as this is late compared to anything else? I take it he wasn’t a silversmith of ...

Thankyou so much everyone for the information, really good to know.

If anyone’s an expert or has a good Norwegian source of marks please get in touch as I still have a few marks I cannot find (posts are here on the forum)

I have this large Swedish Kings pattern basting spoon dated 1859 (E5) by A.Rothman who I cannot find reference to. The town mark I don’t recognise either? Any help to identify would be great. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Matt.

That’s great, many thanks Miles for the info. It’s really good to be able to date these within a narrow time frame.

As always much appreciated,

Matt.

I recently bought this fork, the date to me seems to be 1729 but wanted your opinions. The makers mark is an odd looking crown with a tall centre and I can make out a ‘D’ as the first letter but not the second letter. The crown mark is very distinct so I’m hoping we can work out a maker too. It’s my...

This mark has been seen before but is it Joseph Hicks’ mark? A barred I and H very crude punch.






Nice little set of 6 brightcut teaspoons weighing a light 61g total.

Thankyou so much Ben! I did think of George Savage as I’d come across him before but the marks I knew were different. That’s great to have another Canadian spoon.

Fiddle pattern tablespoon maked with pseudo marks and GS&.S, who is the maker and where’s it from?




Any help is much appreciated, Matt

Feather edge dessert spoon with a slight celtic end. It’s marked SN just once. Maybe the family crest will be of some help? Any ideas?





Thanks, Matt

The punch shape is similar to ones I’ve seen coming from Switzerland. What does the back of the bowl look like, the heel?

Low grade silver dinner fork marked JM, was told it came from India. Any ideas?




Matt

Smaller items I would expect and do have examples from Newcastle but this has all the marks except the town mark, usually the leopards head and often the date letter are omitted. Just seemed a little odd to have marks that essentially are the same as a London piece to the less keen-eyed.

Looks Norwegian in style and Inscribed on the back ‘Mg Lind og St Lind 25 October 1877’. Makers mark is NN but no other marks are present. Any help would be great to identify the maker and where it’s from. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Matt

Awesome! Thankyou so much Blakston, superb research now I know who made my fork. It’s always really good to know a bit about the silversmith too, somehow feels good to appreciate their work knowing who they are.

Matt

I take it this is a common sight? No Newcastle town mark on this 70g table spoon. It was mistook for London but I saw that it was a Newcastle piece.





Matt

Hopefully we’ll know someday. It’s a nice fork:

Thankyou both Trev and Phil! I wish I had reference material here but maybe at some point I can get some books posted to Finland.

I’ve seen the pellet mark and almost joined MA but is this one a registered known mark? It’s an OE teaspoon and I would be interested in a rough date.







Many thanks, Matt

Really nice fork, I have seen this before but a little expensive for me. Superb crest, it always makes an item more interesting to me to see a crest.
