G v M - G A M? Spoons - Possibly Icelandic?

Postby dognose » Fri May 30, 2014 12:11 pm

Hi,

Just enquiring for a friend. Does anyone recognise this maker?

Possibly G v M, or G A M.

It's been suggested that they may be Icelandic, perhaps by Guðlaugur A. Magnússon.

Any thoughts appreciated.

This is thought to be Magnússon's better known mark:

See here: Nokkri íslenskir stimplar (And be prepared to use Google's translator!)

Hi Blakstone,

Amazing isn't it. We've had that link on the website for years, and I've only ever scrolled down, never up, always assumed that where the link took you was the top of the page. Many thanks for the head's up.

Heh - if you makes you feel any better, I've looked up a number of Icelandic marks, and was sure I'd seen that mark there, yet still didn't find it when I looked...

Thanks Cheryl, I don't feel so bad now.
