Is there any other good book on Canadian silver other than Langdon's? It's pretty pricey. I have made the rounds to the various major websites that list Canadian makers and they are all fairly incomplete. Any suggestions on reference publications appreciated. I just bought a huge book on english/iri...

Thank you. I'm fairly new to collecting and wouldn't think that the makers you listed used simply one mark like their initials. Was that done before a certain period? I tried to look up some makers via this site and didn't find any that matched. Will dig further. Thanks again.

Thank you for the reply. Guess I'll need to get it tested to narrow down my search. Appreciate the info and suggestions. I'll post results when I find out about metal content...

Recently acquired this spoon and can't figure out the country of origin or maker. It has what appears to be the design of a turkey on the back of the bowl. It is 5.25" long. It has some initials in dot-type engraving on the front so it is probably from Europe somewhere. Any info appreciated. Wo...

Salt spoon marked JO. Have looked but can't find this mark anywhere. Would anyone know who this is? Thanks in advance. https://i.postimg.cc/zGSvjK5g/S20190324-0020.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/1tT3tK0L/jo2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/25WmzB85/IMG-8891.jpg

apologize for numerous posts - can't figure out how to edit original post to put other pics in it...

Pic of spoon:

Have a teaspoon with a mark on the side of the handle stem that says "EXC". No other marks. Not sure if it is coin or sterling or something else. Anyone ever seen this before or can tell me what this is? Tks https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg

thank you for the info.

wonder if anyone knows when the practice of putting gold wash on silver flatware started. does it go way back to the 17th century or before, or is there a specific period when it started ? tks

Found this:

Page 117. Shows possible mark with a question mark notation. Doesn't really look like the mark on these spoons.

Aguest - thank you for taking the time to look into these spoons. Still doing some investigating and your expertise is appreciated. The shape is unusual and unlike anything cataloged/sold for Revere that I have come across in some web searches. Will keep digging. Tks.

I'd also be interested to learn what type of spoons these are - meaning what they are intended for. The handle is so small that it looks like they were meant to be used for stirring. Is there a particular name for this style?

this might be American coin silver - mark looks like that of Philo B. Gilbert and/or associated mfgs. I recently bought some spoons with the same mark (different design).

could you possibly post a clearer pic of the marks? tks.

Here are a few pics. Any info appreciated. Tks

This is a general question as it relates to (assumed) coin silver items marked with a makers mark that are initials and nothing else. For example - PR in a rectangle, where the is no record of that particular mark found in any mainstream reference book or website. (This is just used as an example). ...

Have this spoon and can't match the mark in any of my guides. Teaspoon. Anyone know who P.B is? Tks

looks like 3 eagles to me...
