Hi agphile -

agphile wrote:I am not sure your point is as easy as you think to understand on first reading of your original post. Are you saying that spoons of the same pattern but marked by other companies than the Grachev Brothers were very popular, however you cannot tell whether they were locally made or imported? (Presumably because they lack anything like the bear export mark.) And is this simply a comment, or a request for any relevant thoughts or information?

You have correctly understood my observations!

It is an observation connected with different conclusions. Some things are still in the dark and not yet fully elucidated.
Any serious informations or thoughts welcome!

For those who don't recognize the pattern. It is commonly called "Empire" and rather popular around the end of the 19th century. There are several variations of this pattern.
