Thank you , Cheryl.

Miles

Mexican silver is something I know very little about. I wonder if anyone can tell me anything about this shoehorn with chased decoration.

Miles

Thank you very much, Blakstone, for your detailed answer.

Miles

Thank you very much Peter.

Thanks, Bahner.

Thanks, Peter.

When holding the spoon with the bowl pointing downwards, the marks are on the left of the rat-tail.
Do you know what the lady is holding? It looks like a leaf and a feather.

Miles

Does anyone know the maker's mark on what I'm assuming are German jugenstil sugar tongs?

Miles

Can anyone identify the marks on this early 18th Century(?) spoon with cherub mask finial? It has a later Swedish import mark. Miles http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h200/granmaa/watryj%202_zpsaymk6vfy.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h200/granmaa/watryj%203_zps6ft5t9nb.jpg

Can anyone help me identify the marks on this Dutch spoon?

Miles

I'm certainly no expert on heraldry, but I think it might be German.
It seems to be a fess between three mullets of six points Or for the Wenns family: http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/heraldry/ ... nwenns.jpg

Let us know if you find out anything else.
Miles

Thank you very much, Søren.

Does anyone know the EM maker of this 1939 Malmo dish?

Miles

Can anyone tell me the maker (or even the initials) on this stylish cigarette case? I'd also be interested to know anything about the engraving.

It's been a while since I've seen this topic.
Definitely William Hope, and although he did fake marks I think these are genuine.

Miles

Does anyone know this early 19th century maker?

Miles

How annoying! Thanks anyway.

Miles

Does anyone know the maker of this table spoon that I believe was made in Kostroma between 1769 and 1813?

Miles

I'm posting this question on behalf of another member. Part of a base-metal spoon found at a dig site in Massachusetts. Is anyone able to date or place the spoon using the unusual drop?

Looks like 1809 to me. I can't help with the maker.

Miles

I think if you were to clean the hallmarks (not that I would advise it) more of the design would become clear. In this period of the Exeter Assay Office, the dies for the hallmarks were being cut by the talented William Wyon and his son Leonard Charles Wyon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Char...
