Hi,

Those are not Dutch hallmarks.

Hi,

Made in 1948 by Hooykaas in Schoonhoven.

Hope that helped,

Hi, It looks like the dateletter of 1905 indeed. The "H" is most likely a pseudo dateletter. The MC is a documented pseudo maker's mark (used on spoons in Schoonhoven and Groningen). The maker's mark N2 is that of Brothers Niekerk while they were in Groningen (1902-1927) .. they also had a...

Hi,

It is his Amity cup.

Hi,

You were not so far off. It is Vos & Co., Haarlem 1915-1919. Vos, Schoorl and their different associates made many items in this style.
The item was essayed in Amsterdam.
.

Hi,

It is the maker's mark of Brothers Moerkerk & Co. & Turnhout, Haarlem, 1919-1923. They had to essay in Amsterdam.
The dateletter is probably the K of 1920.

Hi,

Most probably the Dutch minerva head indeed. The 800 mark could indicate that it was manufactured in Germany and imported in The Netherlands. Look for the other marks as Tom suggested.
.

Hi,

Those are hallmarks following the Vienna convention, so relative recent.
If you post a clearer photo, we might extract more info.

Hope that helped.

Hi,

The V in the second image means that it has been imported into the Netherlands between 1906 and 1953, which matches your location.

Hi,

Yes they probably were meant for each other, just offered as two items for assaying. Then combined.
Maybe I should have said "after" instead of "later".
.

Hi,

It looks like Schoonhoven to me as well. The Dateletter is the G from 1891 (it is shown upside down) .. resembles the O of 1898.
.

Hi, It is actually a flask (the flask of Willibrord) that is depicted - after an old legend. It has been used since at least the 16th century until the early 19th. I have seen a few variations of the mark, and some come close to yours, but there is no match. I also found a pseudo mark from the 19th ...

Hi Keith,

The R is the dateletter of 1901 and the sword is a silver mark for small article, so the handle was probably assayed separate and riveted on the basket later.
.

Hi,

It is at least post 1814, hard to see if the numerical below the lion is arabic or latin. There really should also be a dateletter and maker's mark on it.
.

Hi,

ND is indeed most probably the maker's mark, but very little is known about Vlissingen.
This type of spoon was popular in the 17th century and they were made again at the end of the 19th century. Nice spoon and rare marks.
.

Hi,

Maybe it was a memento mori type case. Hair was also used in European jewelry in the late 1700's through the 19th century.
.

I can't quite imagine a baby using this though.

Hi,

For infants you have to reverse it to become a funnel à la foie gras feeder.
.

Hi, Maybe to not start seeing things one wants to see. For heirlooms: check provenance of the item (where was grandma born, did he/she travel a lot, did it come from a wealthy descend etc.) People also tend to think the item is older than it is ("been in the family since I can remember" is...

Hi,

Not Dutch.
.

Hi,

Given the latest info I think it would be a call between Cairo and Beni Souef.
