Unsure of Marks Think it may be British Help with spoon

Postby mia » Mon Sep 03, 2007 11:06 pm

I have a set of lovely spoons that measure six inches long. The spoon handle has a lovely flower design and the spoon has a geometrical shape coming to a point. I have looked in the american and european marks with no luck. Please help! I am looking for a maker and age. Many thanks!

American, part of Watson's multi-motif Floral Series #4, appears to be the Wild Rose variation.

You are amazing. I spent 3 or 4 hours on this website and nothing~Thanks so much. Do you have any idea about how old it may be? Thanks again!

Believe the crown-W-lion marks were used starting in 1910, the pattern would have been introduced right around that same time, don't know how long the souvenir floral series were in production, but Wallace bought out Watson in 1955.
