there is a interesting mark on a spoon (ca. 1860) with a "hallmark" I have seen before. But I do not know where I have seen it. Probably in this forum.

Hi Theo,

Was this the topic you were thinking of?: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=30112&p=74538&hilit=klinkosch#p74538

Dear Trev
it was a spoon from north-east-germany
I think it could be Stettin - but I find in Stettin some Schröter - but not a maker T. Schröter

Hi
It appears to be an animal standing on hind legs rather than Klinkosch helmet.
Likely Germany.
Cheers

Hi,
``unbekannt evStettin Potsdam 1850 T Schroeder``
The same mark, probably posted by you?

Hello Theo,
I also thought about this mark.
Here is a better image. May be it helps.

Suche Wort im Namen; enter STETTIN
Then ``Abschicken``
It`s the last at the bottom, but I am sure you are already familiar with it.

Hello Theo,
thanks for this great puzzle - I did not expect that it is so difficult to solve.

I found 16 goldsmithes named Schroeter from 14 cities ( the most of them you surely know; but there was also one in Magdeburg, Saalfeld, Strasbourg and Rapperswil). The only one with a first name beginning with "T" is Georg Tobias Schröter from Saalfeld. But he is to old (18th ct.).
There is a cocentration of goldsmithes with this name in Saxony and the nearby Silesia. But to my opinion the "12 LÖTHIG" mark points more to Nort- East Germany and nearby regions.

And concerning the "city mark" I have no idea, what it shows. But I am assured this puzzle is to solve.

Best regards,
Ringo

there is a certain similarity with the penultima mark in German unidentified marks after 1886 !?

for me it looks like a Griffin head - like Stettin
