Large basting spoon, help needed with marks

Post by mk209 »

I have this large Swedish Kings pattern basting spoon dated 1859 (E5) by A.Rothman who I cannot find reference to. The town mark I don’t recognise either? Any help to identify would be great.

Hi Matt,

The town of origin identification symbol to me appears to be an I(damaged) for Lycksele.

Hi,

I find an Anders Rothman working in Örebro at this time (1859).

Yes, you are right Trev, my mistake I thought it to be an I in a round shield, but actually an O for Örebro .

Yes it is Anders Rothman in Örebro 1852-1870. Actually there are two Anders Rothmans in Örebro: Anders Rothman the older -1826-1833(34) who is the father of the first mentioned Anders R. Anyway, the spoon is made by the son.

Thankyou so much everyone for the information, really good to know.

If anyone’s an expert or has a good Norwegian source of marks please get in touch as I still have a few marks I cannot find (posts are here on the forum)
