Help needed with Kamenetz Podolsk spoon

Hi, I have a spoon with what I understand is the town mark of Kamenetz Podolsk. Can anybody help me with identifying the maker and assay master? Many Thanks Martin http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/marlo12/SAM_5148_zpscc1ztucd.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/marlo12/SAM_5150_zp...

Need help with this spoon

Hi, I have aquired this celtic point teaspoon that I am struggling to identify. Because of the celtic point design I was thinking possibly Scottish provincial, however I can't decipher the marks, does anybody have any ideas? Many Thanks Martin http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh521/marlo12/SAM_51...

Re: Help in dating a silver mark?

Hi Mark,

The maker is definitely Smily. The hallmarks are clogged with old polish residue, you can remove this with a wooden toothpick or similar. From what I can see, it looks like it could be the letter H for London 1843.

Opinion on this maker

Hi, This 1763 apostle spoon is clearly hallmarked with the makers mark in the image below. The only candidate I can find is that of Tompson Davis, however I have never seen any of his work before and there doesn't appear to be any examples of his work on this site, what do others think?

Re: M&S 958 Birmingham silver marks?

Hi,

I believe on imported Britannia std silver post 1904 it would have been marked .9584 and post 1975 .958.

Thoughts on pap boat maker.

Hi, I would welcome any opinions on the possible maker of this 1753 London pap boat. I have my own ideas, but would like to hear what others think of these open to interpretation initials in a possibly heart shaped mark.
