I'm in China, and I found several antique forks in my home last night. My mom told me they were belonged to my great-grandfather who has passed away for over half century.
So, after Googling for a while, now I can read the maker's mark: they were made by William Hutton & Sons Ltd, Britannia Plate, A1 quality, 'crossed arrows' means after 1900…
Here are the pictures.
However, there are still some questions that make me confused, and I would be very grateful if someone could help me.
-What does this mark mean ?
Is it HSBC？=_=b
-I can see the "4x4 of crossed arrows" marks on the internet, but there's only "3x3" on my fork, why?
-And yes, When was it made?
Thanks a looooooooot!
