Thanks for your help!!!!

I did suspect that it was Sheffield, so this thread should be moved over into the Sheffield sub-forum,
but I still don't understand why this piece lacks the town mark for Sheffield.

Everything makes sense except the lack of the Sheffield town mark, so I was confused.

Hello hallmark heroes and heroines, Here we have a tea caddy spoon with the lion passant, the head of a king, a maker's mark "GE & Co." and a crown over N mark. I have not been able to figure out this spoon. If there is no leopard, was it made in London? If the "N with the crown o...

I find it strange that the lion is upside down when compared to the "TJ" makers mark. Also, when I look at the lion, it seems to be an imitation of the Lion Passant symbol. It closely resembles the Lion Passant, but something is just a bit different there when I look at it for a long time....

The Seventh Muffineer:

The Sixth Muffineer:

The Fifth Muffineer: Possibly Samuel Wheat. This one has a monogram and a faint image of a Stag family crest (a full length stag image) https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg The top of the muffineer is marked, and I believe I see the same hallmarks as the base, but the image is so faded that it wou...

Just for clarification, the "A P" stamp is on the top, which is next to an erased HB hallmark.

I am not sure if these muffineers are legally overstamped or illegally overstamped.

The hallmarks of The Third Muffineer:

Thank you for the help.

The top of The Second Muffineer is also marked "I . D"

So now let's move on to the next one, which I will put in a separate third thread.

The Second Muffineer

I recently adopted these 7 muffineers from the Sterling Silver Shelter :) I shall try again to get below the 1000 pixel limit: First Muffineer (1734 possibly by Francis Nelme) https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh494/spoonseeker/spoonseeker002/Muff-1.jpg

Thank you very much, apology for the poor photo of the hallmark.

The hallmark symbol which I thought was an elephant or an overweight horse appears to actually be a representation of Lady Godiva, painted by Dutch artist Van Noort circa 1588. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg I did some image enhancement and it seems to match this image, if I am not mistaken.

It is possible that I have isolated the hallmark. We shall see soon enough----

Actually I am not even sure that this spoon is from Denmark.

It does remind me of the wooden face carvings in certain Danish shipping ports.

I have seen a few Danish commemorative spoons that celebrated these face carvings, so I just assumed this is from Denmark?

Thank you all Ag4ever

Both hallmarks look so similar, but I am leaning towards the first choice.

Thanks for the assistance in the hallmark universe.

This hallmark is unclear due to wear, but is it W & Co? I found one reference to W & Co but it said "unknown maker" https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Here is the entire snuff box. It has exceptional bright-cut engraving and a Greek revival style border. https://www.925-1000.co...
