Re: Unusual mark for J Deakin & Sons
Hello, to me this spoon looks a bit less utilitarian than much of the "Deakin" cutlery you see. Perhaps low volume item, decorative spoon with twisted stem, maybe a more obvious manufacturers mark deemed the more appropriate addition. Just one idea and probably there could be others to com...

Re: Makers mark ID please on knife blades
Hello, I came across a spoon with manufacturer's marks in gothic lettering and I concluded were marks of the Horace Woodward concern. They are part of the composite image below.

Re: A P Roger - Guernsey Silversmith
Hello, this appears to be a teaspoon box of this A.P.Roger concern. It was associated with some 1975 Birmingham made spoons. Those spoons seemed to be by an "unknown" maker whose mark has been noted previously 1975- 1981. I do not know if the box and spoons were always together though. htt...

Re: Mixed Silver Marks
Thank you AG2012 and Oel for your responses. That "watchstrap" reference was one of several I looked at. They did not all say exactly the same thing so I just made that loose summary. Regarding the different international standard marks, did they make the own punches or were the cases &quo...

Mixed Silver Marks
Hello. I saved the below image from an auction catalogue. It shows the marks on a pocket watch case and their diversity intrigued me. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51888183947_81fedd464f_b.jpg I did not recognise the name "Seeland" but I did know the grouse mark that was a Switzerlan...

Re: Sarl & son marks
Hello, manufacturers marks on electroplated cutlery can have meanings but may only be "decorative" to appear like marks on solid hallmarked silver. Sarl and Sons would have been the retailer of the item and no doubt could have asked for any lettering they wanted. The Sarl "ads" s...

Thomas Hands Trade Marks with "S&S" marks
Hello, I copied this fork image from on line as I recognised the trademark "Peruvian Silver" and the animal image coat of arms mark as belonging to Thomas Hands and Sons. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51870315813_ac6d92ab63_b.jpg http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n80/2209patrick/Sca...

Re: Help to know the age of a spoon
Hello, JJM this is an interesting looking spoon if much tarnished. Was it a metal detecting find as I am not sure if the spoon's bowl is a normal type flattened or was made with a flat bowl as to be like a "cake" server? I an assuming it is about 15 cms long. The marks do not tell us much ...

Sheffield "LB" EP mark. "L" Brothers?
Hello, this is an image from other post in our Forum. https://abload.de/img/400673109_1-bestek-zip6rp6.jpg It is probably identified correctly as the mark of Levesley Brothers of "Central Works", Sheffield. That said, I have recently come across an alternative candidate as the possible own...

Re: "F.WST" St Petersburg Maker. Wennestrom??
Thank you Qrt.S for your added information. The spoon is only 9cms long so definitely a condiment type spoon. It was an oversight by me not furnishing the length of the spoon before. This is the 1st Russian spoon I have owned and only the 2nd one I have had a prolonged look at.

Thank you Dognose and Qrt.S for clarifying my research. There is always a chance of mis-spelt "older" silversmiths names and no doubt it is a magnified chance when different nations are concerned. Good on you "Olof Wennerstöm" for making my condiment spoon and good on the Forum f...

"F.WST" St Petersburg Maker. Wennestrom??
Hello, happy new year all. The end of last year was happy for me as was able to get this small fiddle pattern condiment spoon for a little bit of research. It has a typical set of Russian marks on it and the 1848 under the Assay Master's mark gives the easy bit a date of its assay. https://live.stat...

Re: Any idea on these marks? Thanks.
Hello, this looks like the Wakely & Wheeler mark I expected on London silver. However I thought it also marked for Britannia Silver. A closer look tells it is Dublin hallmarked, and "silvermakersmarks" gives a Dublin address for the company. James Wakely & Frank Clarke Wheeler Hatt...
