Re: Partial Hallmark 1754 London Spoon

Sorry I tried lowering the resolution before posting, thinking they would work. What dimensions would fit the requirements?

Re: Partial Hallmark 1754 London Spoon

That's quite some information you were able to find. It sure sounds like it would match the story of the spoon to me. Unfortunately, without wanting to spend any money on ancestry searches, I can't go any farther back than V O Penley's father's name. Thanks for finding what you did, it'll give me so...

Partial Hallmark 1754 London Spoon

Got this spoon today from an antique store. It is monogrammed AM GKF 1754, Colo 1906, and on the front V.O. Penley. I'm pretty sure it was made closer to 1754 than 1906. No idea how it would make it to Colorado for a monogram 150 years later. On the back I can make out 1 1/2 letters, B (or R) and th...

Re: Russian 72 Silver Spoon

I can add a little more information to this now. I asked the seller where she got it. It comes from a suburb of Chicago with many Russian and Eastern European families who immigrated before or during the WWI and the revolution. Not that it narrows anything down, but any extra information is always h...

Re: Russian 72 Silver Spoon

I disagree on the 12. I have some other spoons marked 12 that I posted in the German section. This mark looks nothing like those marked 12. The 1 is very slanted and has the bar at top and little overhang at the end, looking very much like a 7. It would explain the Cyrillic lettering. I can't post t...

Re: Russian 72 Silver Spoon

I was afraid of that with the poor record keeping. It does match the style of my late 1790s British sterling spoon. That last mark almost looks like a head of someone, but I didn't see anything similar to it when searching for a match. There might have been another mark next to it, but its just so w...

German 12 Loth Silver Fork 4

Last of 4 German silverware with 12 marks. I'm confident they are 12 Loth silver, but I can't decipher any city/assay marks to verify their silver content. And with it being 12 which was also used on plated items I'd like to know for sure either way. I'm not sure if the hallmarks are the right side ...

Russian 72 Silver Spoon

This small teaspoon is marked 72. I believe its 1700s Russian silver when 72 was a silver standard. I don't know if it was around any longer just going by what's on 925-1000's Russian silver page. The letters are Ц Г. The other mark is so worn I don't recognize it. The spoon has been repaired, which...

Re: Sheffield Mark EP&Co

Thanks for the replies. I've seen a couple other pieces with same mark. Probably will never know who the actual maker is.

Sheffield Mark EP&Co

Trying to figure out who the manufacturer is. Its marked EP&Co with Sheffield assay marks of 1961, and I assume sterling. Any help is appreciated.
