Set of Spoons from Hamburg with different makers, maker “Wally”

Post by Joerg »

I got this set of spoons from Hamburg, 3 dessert spoons, and 7 coffee spoons. The have the same monogram, are identical in the design but are from different makers. To comply with the forum rules I post each maker separately. Can you help me identify the maker and an approximate manufacturing date? Also, some spoons have a sub-supplier identification number, can you help me with them too? Thank you, Jörg
Here maker “Wally”?, the letter of the town mark is C, sub-supplier identification number probably 66

Hello, not Wally but Watty. Much on the family can be fond on the internet. Regards, Bahner

Following Baner's hint I searched the internet on Watty.
It seems they are somehow famous silversmith in Hamburg.

We have Joachim Heinrich Watty (1787-1845) and his son Johann Heinrich Watty (1816-1889). He got the concession number 66 in 1843.
Assy master "C" is Friedrich Christoph Greve (1829-1854)

What does this mean for dating the whole set?
