Hello,

I have 5 sterling demitasse spoons that I would like to identify the maker and pattern, if possible. The spoons are 4 ¼” long.

Thanks,

Bob Bjork

Trev,

Thanks for your reponse, but the hallmarks don't quite match. The clover leaf is 3 lobed on one and 4 on the other.

It is clearly a Howard mark, one of the clover-leaves on your mark is obscured - the pattern is York, introduced in 1898.
