Hi Ringo and Bahner,
Ringo's spoon was bought by Reiner's and identified as No. 293 of the old Reiner catalogue. So we can add another mark to Reiner in German marks. That was only possible because of Ringo's posting. Thank you, Ringo.

I think it is Forster & Graf, Schwäbisch Gmünd.

In Breslau the silver content at that time (year letter N = around 1810) was probably 12 Lot that means 750/1000 pure silver.
A crown with 9 pearls is a count's coronet. To find the count you have to look into the nobility records.

I think it is Breslau. Vogtmann was a Breslau silversmith.

Hi R ingo and Bahner, I think it could by all means be an early Reiner Mark. It is true, the earliest mark you find in literature is that of a griffin (not a lion) sitting on top of the Krumbach coat of arms, but - some years ago I found five absolutly identical coffee spoons, one with the Krumbach ...

Hi,
try it with ZEKOL, available in drugstores or perhaps ALDI Süd. You can write me a private mail (I wrote a PM to you on 16.10.13, but didn't get an answer)

Hi Jörg, Cheryl and Bahner,
thanks you for your answers. So I have exchanged the spout for "mager" and "fett" in my description!
But what about the maker?

Hi all, found that mysterious object 450 g in silver 800 marked with AKO, Tukan W 4 and 800. I suppose it to be for some liquor. On the rim, on the left one reads "mager" (=meagre, skim ?), where you can pour out the liquid over the spout, on the right one reads "fett" (=fat, gre...

B.E. are just initials and the not readable inscription might be the seller.

Yes, it is a German Spoon. Maker is Wilkens, Bremen. Halfmoon - standing for silver - is the old mark of Wilkens before the screw press.

Hallo Francais,
it could have been a part of a so-called Charivari. That is a kind of chain (Schmuckkette) people wear in combination with bavarian dress on their belly. The maker I don't know.

thank you very much Bahner. I suppose that are two crossed hammers!?
Could you please have a look to "Table-spoon after 1886" from July 31,2013 (last post August 05, 2013); up to now without final answer.

Hi all, on my spoon, more than 27 cm long, there is a to me unknown mark which I found on another table spoon too. I think it is the same maker!? Does anybody know him? http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r537/bridiallo/Gemselffel_HK_800_278cm_gekreuzte_.jpg http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r537/...

Hi all, on my gravy ladle marked with Diana for 800 and C for Prague there is a maker's mark JK or IK. I would like to know the silversmith.

Hi all and especially the crest specialists, on spoon anf fork produced by Meyen, Berlin (name or model no. unknown to me) there is a crest, which I would like to attach to a family. Thanks in advance silverfan http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r537/bridiallo/Meyen_Dessertbesteck_Wappen.jpg http:/...

Up to now without answer. The result of an "x-ray examination" was 700/1000 silver. Perhaps Trevor could move the post to "Other Countries".
Thanks silverfan

Hi,
creamer and sugar were produced by Koch & Bergfeld, Bremen (maker's mark: Fußschale)

Hi,
in Berlin at that time the silver content usually was 12 Loth, that means 750/1000 silver.
Regards silverfan

it is Berlin. The bear and L stands for the assay master J.W.D.Friedrich 1854-1863 and the D stands for the second assay master L.Th.Wendelboe 1854-1864. W is probably the maker's mark, which I don't know.

Hi dognose, Vereinigte Silberfabriken Düsseldorf is right, but this company was not the result of a merger of two Hanau firms. VSF was the foundation of two of the five sons of Anton Bahner: Anton Bahner jun. and Wilhelm Bahner. Franz Bahner in 1895 opened Franz Bahner later part of Mansfelder Silb...
