It’s a wild guess only: Maybe made by »Kronen A.S.«, Copenhagen?

Hello »VJTHORNES«

Welcome to the Forum.

Sorry there fore, that yours similar question, placed on 30 August 2010, isn’t answered until yet.

By the Millions of different Maker’s marks it’s often very difficult to find a well sounded answer.

Also now I haven’t a sounded answer — but seen the stylistic and the shape of the spoon I’ve the impression, that the spoon could be an Export of Danish origin? The design has a modern Classical appearance — and the functionality is also fulfilled too.

There has exist in the Danish capital Copenhagen, at least in third quarter of last century, a factory for silver and for plated cutlery and hollowwareit’s a pity, that facts are also nearly total unknown by Danish too. Maybe the reason there fore, that »Kronen« (Crown) has remained unknown until yet could be, that »Kronen« wasn’t theGolden calfof Danish silverware production culture, like »Georg Jensen«?

But for my feeling, »Kronen« and their products is of a very good level too; similar as that of the other well known competitors.

Here this company is mentioned in only one line, to have been existed from 1963-1975 (scroll down to “Kronen”):

I have found until yet only very few notices on the existence of this company — to prevent mis interpretations of text, actually I couldn't publish more information; because I haven’t sufficient knowledge of Danish.

Please look here for a Danish “Crown” topic, where I’ve suggested, that the object could also be made by the above mentioned Danish silverwares producer »Kronen A.S.«:

I hope that by time and while it would be possible to become more knowledge on the »Kronen A.S.«, on their products and their marks.

Kind regards silverport
