Please help to identify this hall mark...

Post by ybcnd »

This spoon looks more likely real silver than plated, more European than other regions so i post it here for help. Please advise.

Hi

It says 12 Loth, a European measurement of silver content.

Thank you so much Martin. This mark is new to me. Is this a German spoon or Scandinavian? In spoon front, it engraved with a family logo with letter A/C, likely tailor-made.

Hi,
I think it is older German orthography with Ö and TH in the end of the word LÖTH .Danish and Norwegian alphabet have letter Ø, Swedish has letter Ö, equivalent to German Ö, but 12 Loth was not used. In short, I think it`s German.

Thank you for advice. Happy to learn from it. It’s a German 12loth silver spoon. FYI, it’s about 8.5” long, 2oz in weight, recently had them in auction here in Canada.
