My link wasn't blue, maybe this will help? Please have patience, I'm new at this.
Hope someone can help me - I have a set of 6 silver spoons in a purple felt case, which has (or had before I STUPIDLY washed it) W E Ward Jewelers Sceanton Penna (I know, spelling's wrong but that's how it read). The makers' mark is a copyright symbol, then what looks like an Indian head & STERLING to the right of it. There's a very stylish 'D' on near the end of the handles. They're in great condition; look almost new, like they weren't used. Can anyone help? Hope I got the image thing working right. Thanks! Candi

Looks like International's 1810 pattern, introduced in 1930.

OK, thanks, but is International a good thing? I've been researching & will continue to do so, on what you suggested, but I'm pretty much a horse, rescue animal, piano & flute person. My flute is silver, does that count?! However, I'm thinking I'm going to be researching heavily into the antique silver stuff, since I have a collection. Again, thank you! Where can I get more info on International without spending hours of research? Candi

There is nothing like the horse's mouth, you can contact International through their website at:

OK, OK, I get the ;0) now, Cheryl. Hey, I'm new at this, but once started on the path, Glasshoppa, you find the path easier to navigate. There's gonna be another one, really weird, tomorrow. It's a strange antique fork thingy with an attached retractable stand of some sort & we've never been able to figure out its use. Thanks for helping & I've become fascinated with this stuff! Candi

Been doing the wink for so many years it's just habit, my last name has "Wink" in it, have always had some sort of winky nickname. Silver and the research involved can be addicting, welcome to the club! Looking forward to seeing your fork thingy.

I LOVE dragonflies - they're my totem. Actually rescued one once, it was snowing & my cat brought him in! He was gonna die anyway, so I fed him(bologna) & gave him water for 2 weeks. Buzz has been in a jar with rose petals for 7 years ;-(
No, I'm not kidding & yeah, I love animals. And insects. Candi
