Table-spoon after 1886

Hi all, this table-spoon clearly marked with crescent moon, crown, 800 for Germany after 1886 bears a maker's mark, which I couldn't find in my sources. Does anybody know the maker?

Re: Silver sculpture

The inscription of the rim reads: GUSS (=casting) PRIESSMANN BAUER.CO MÜNCHEN, which is the maker, now called Kunstgießerei Herbich, Maisach (near Munich). Zadikow is most probably the designer Arnold Zadikow.

Re: Düsseldorf silver snuff box

Hi Kasper, if it is Düsseldorf, the oval anchor mark dates before 1704, because beginning in 1704 the town mark is anchor and lion and from 1732 a 12 and from 1761 a 13 is added. The only matching initials IH (but in an other form and much later) I found in: Karl Bernd HEPPE, Düsseldorfer Goldschm...

Re: Tray marked 800 - possibly spurious

Hi rat-tail,
the province is Palermo, the silversmith No. 39 is STANCAMPIANO, Eugenio active from 1935-? (if it is No. 35: Fecarotta, Franco 1935-?).
The letters ST in an oval let me suppose that it is Stancampiano.

Re: Tray marked 800 - possibly spurious

your tray is Italian, 800 is the purity, 39 is the silversmith, PA is the province in Italy.

Hi all, one of these knives (the long one) is marked with the second cock for provinces and with the maker's mark GM (?). Who is it?

Re: Help Clarifying This German Marking

Hi vmills,
it is 830S (830 standing for the fineness and S for silver) and the lion is the mark of Gebrüder Deyhle, Schwäbisch Gmünd (Germany) founded in 1820.

Re: Austrian Sugar Tongs

Hi,
I learnt that the dog-head mark in Hungary was in use until 1937, far longer than in Austria. So my surmise Art Deco becomes very probable.

Re: Austrian Sugar Tongs

Hi all specialists in silver of Austria-Hungary, with a small but strong pocket-lens I could see that within the dog-head mark there is a 3 for 800 fineness and a P for Pest. So the item must have been produced after 1871. The maker's mark is an anvil between the letters G or C and A. I hope with th...

Re: Dutch Mocca Spoon

Hi Oel,
thank you very much for your fast reply. So the sword mark must be that used from 1814-1905 for small objects in silver 833. I had never thought that a spoon would have been produced in that style before 1900.
