I have this serving spoon- it is also gold washed- It only has 3 Marks which are- looks like lion with his head facing to our left, The letter R ( a fancy R) and what looks like a Crown! I have done so much research with no luck! If you can help I would truly appreciate it!

Check the mark for Peter L. Krider & Co. [Under 'K']

Thank You very much, this is a great start! What about the Pattern- I still can not find it!!!

It may just be me and I can't really see the mark well enough anyway, but is there any chance that this is an Howard mark?

Hi everyone.

Tough call, but I'd say Krider.



Pat.

You and of course Salmon have it. I should have stayed out.

Hi Pat.

We value your opinion.
Always good to question marks, especially with a picture that's not real clear.

Thank You so much guys! I also think that it is a Krider, but what about the Pattern of year, I have been going nuts trying to find out! I really appreciate any input, and the previous input from you! Thanks!

I was wondering if someone could help me identify the pattern! I keep searching with no Pattern in sight!! Thank You!

Hi ~ Not all designs have a pattern name, especially those that were not full-line patterns. Your picture is not clear enough on my monitor, but it looks like it might be one of the numerous circa 1880 engraved designs on a simple Antique pattern handle, have seen some exceptional engraved pieces by Krider and other Philly makers. May have had a factory designation (probably numerical) at some point, but very unlikely it could be tracked down now.....
