thanks for trying. i'll have to research that general area. the info is (likely) out there somewhere...

this spoon xrf tested 91.8% silver... the plot thickens...

Trying to locate the maker of this spoon which has the mark "E pellet J". 9" coin silver serving spoon. Would anyone know who this is? Any info. appreciated.

Thank you very much. I was way off. Searched Greencock on the web and it looks like a beautiful place. Appreciate the help identifying this piece.

Not sure if this is the right section but posting here. This is on a serving spoon that looks to be from the late 1700's. There is actually another mark before the anchor but it is very faded. Can anyone identify? Tks. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg

I don't think the R Parker spoon is an Eagle back. Someone described that design as a "pea foul".

very nice spoons.

Thank you. Hiding in plain sight the whole time. Explains the price realized at recent auction and the stylistic elements of French influence.

the items that might see an early grave are damaged beyond what anyone could want them for other than melting them down for silver value or reused for new projects. primarily later machine made coin silver and not early hand made silver. can't keep everything and i'd rather move onto other items in ...

Thank you.

Wonder if anyone has had damaged coin silver spoons melted down (American makers), and if so - what the approximate silver content of them turned out to be. I have a growing pile of bent, split and severely dented spoons from various makers and date ranges which may eventually see that fate. Any inf...

a few people must have known who it is...

L. Couverire or Couverive ? French / Canadian ?

no clue. French maybe?

can you post a pic of the ladle? tks

Thank you very much for helping figure this out. Greatly appreciate everyone's assistance. Can I ask what book you found that in? I looked through the online silversmith directories and couldn't find it and it would be helpful to learn what publications are available when those fail to provide an an...

Thank you for taking the time to try and figure this out. I don't think it's american but it does sort of have that look in some respects. Going to keep digging... It does have a dot style initial engraving on the front which leads me to believe it might be from somewhere in Europe. Thanks again...

does anyone have any thoughts as to what country this might be from?...

Thanks for the possible suggestion. Will keep digging. The side marking is likely a clue.

Had this spoon XRF tested and it came in at 89.8% silver. It was also hypothesized that the mark could read F&C with the X actually being a squashed ampersand. So this is coin silver from somewhere...
