Thank you Bahner for responding to my query and providing me with the information. Now that I know that it may be a French mark and the time period, I will try to find the mark.
Thank you for your response. Actually no, it is not marked. I made a mistake when I wrote the question. This spoon is part of a silverware set that belonged to my wife's great-grandparents and she thought that it may have been Silver 800.
I would appreciate if someone could provide me with any information on this Reed & Barton silver spool (ie. pattern, time period). It is 11.25" (about 29 cms) in length.
I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with any information (ie. manufacturer, time period) regarding this German silver oval two handled tray.
