Osterode basting/stuffing Spoon c.1728
Posted: Tue Feb 22, 2022 11:23 am
Here is a fun spoon I recently acquired. The town mark looks a lot like a D but I am pretty sure it's an O with a crown for the town of Osterode in Lower Saxony. The maker's mark is hard to read but it definitely reads DA over a K which could be Dietrich Andreas Kohlrausch of Osterode. It is engraved "Engel Maria Kroneck Az1728" and the spoon measures about 11.75" long. Sheffler's book Mentions Kohlrausch but does not show a mark and only has one mark for Osterode shown.
I was also able to find a Maria Engel Meder (Kroneck) on a genealogical site who lived in Osterode and married to Johann Andreas Meder. She was born in 1693 and died around 1763. She gave birth to a son in 1735.
