A spoon was found with unknown mark. Can anyone tell me where and when it might be made.
Not shown »mark«
Hello »lion«
Welcome to the Forum!
I don't know if the monogram »HS« (here shown upside down) is that, what you describe to be the »unknown mark«?
I request you very kindly, to search on the backside of the stem, if there are any marks visible - if there are some, please make a photo of the (please cleaned) area of the stem; and place it here as an addition. Thank you!
By the way, you don't mention the dimension; but also not, what the additional piece should be here - it's a total different item; this 'tulip' shape like badge is in each case, not a piece of cutlery.
Yours spoon is made in a traditional form of XIX century - it seems to be factory made = after 1850 in Europe. The surface seems to have had a very thin layer of electro galvanic plated silver.
For final: Please look and read other questions and answers, to get a feeling, how to present questions as well.
Kind regards silverport
