Jackson's, p. 221, has a similar mark for Geo. Smith, mark entered 1782. Someone else please confirm. Thanks, Kit.

Susan, the British Registry is similar to the US Patent Office. If you go to the Main Site ~ Home Page and look at the drop down menu under "Resources," you'll see a link for British Registry Dates. Your Rd No 564313 (if I'm seeing it right) indicates that the pattern was registered someti...

This may be the mark of G. H. French & Co. of North Attleboro, Massachusetts. See two sites:

Thank you, Pat.

Please, and thank you. Kit

Oh dear, now that I see it in big print, it seems I rushed to judgment: one less ripple along the top and the M central point doesn't come to the bottom. Kit

Jackson's, p. 198, has an image that seems a perfect match for Jacob Marsh; date is an early 1744, though. Kit

My first thought was "page turner," but it seems shorter than I'd expect. Kit

Replacements, Ltd. states the pattern was in production from 1921 to 1996. I'm not aware of any way to determine in which exact year a certain flatware piece was manufactured. Perhaps someone else will reply if there is one. Kit

You can see the trademark for Marius Hammer (an M over a Hammer) on the following page:

Someone else will have to let us know whether he has used other marks.

I took a little break today and went to Replacements.com and searched its Gorham line. Sorry, no match to be found; however, there are some patterns for which there are no pictures.

Hopefully, someone with more expertise will be along to help you out.

Be happy and safe in 2007.

I don't know which of your numbers are in ovals or squares or other shapes, but give this site a try: http://www.silvercollection.it/italianhallmarks.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Start about halfway down the page where the site owner begins discussing the 1968 and 1970 laws.

John, I'm supposing that because the spoon has no marks for silver, such as "Sterling" or "925," your post was moved to a forum where it's likely to reach the appropriately knowledgeable responders.
Kit.

"Handwrought" literally means that an object was made by hand rather than by machine. Additionally, the word suggests that the object was unique rather than mass-produced. The early 20th century Arts and Crafts Movement gave the word "handwrought" a particular association, but th...

The "plumed knight with shield S" mark used by Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co. on their sterling flatware continued to be used on sterling by the International Silver Co. after the two firms merged in 1898. It does happen that drawings don't exactly match what appears on a piece in "r...

I have seen references made on several sites to sets of Dickens souvenir spoons made of pewter. Being unfamiliar with pewter marks, I can't help in that regard. Perhaps an internet search via your preferred search engine will provide more leads.

Happy Holidays. Kit

You may be having difficulty identifying a flatware pattern if this spoon is one of the souvenir-type spoons which Paye and Baker produced. Just a possibility. Kit

While neither time nor place of manufacture can be assured about your piece, Elizur G. Webster went into partnership with his son, Fred H. Webster, in 1886, forming E. G. Webster and Son, New York (NY) and Brooklyn (NY). Elizur died in 1900, and the firm was continued by his son until 1928, after wh...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Paul.

Not much to offer other than the date of your piece is probably after 1923. From 1893 to 1923, all imports to the US were required to be identified by country of origin - for example, ENGLAND - and fully marked from 1923 on - MADE IN ENGLAND.

No help for the rest of your question. Sorry.
