Sterling Silver Spoon Marks - Reindeer or Elk

Postby curious_lee » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:30 pm

Hello. Thanks for looking. I've searched all the pictoral marks but can't seem to locate one that looks like this. Identity of the pattern would also be helpful. Any help is appreciated.

Peace,
Lee

Wallace's Washington pattern, introduced in 1911.

Aww, shweet... I had gotten to the M's. Saved me another 2 hours of clicking!

Thanks.

Sorry to be a pest, but what does the T mean? And the &? And the other symbol? Do they reflect the age, or style, or ...?

Thanks for the help!

The "&S" would be for the "and Sons" of R. Wallace & Sons, the "T" would be one of the weight marks used by some manufacturers, indicating "Trade" quality, a somewhat lightweight version of the piece.

Thanks for the education. I learned some new info today. Maybe my brain usage is increasing from 3%, maybe.

Thank you.
