Please Help ID the designer of this spoon!

Postby deemltd » Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:56 am

Hi, i have this lovely sterling enamel spoon marked "London", 925 sterling silver, and what I believe to be the 1932 date marker "r" on the far right. however, I cannot determine the designer! I think his mark should be on the far left? But all I see are these verticle lines/shapes? Could anyone please help identify who the designer possibly could be? Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Although it may not look like it, the sponsor's mark reads 'HJH', the extremities have been worn away. This is the mark of the importer of your spoon, Henry James Hulbert of London. Hulbert was a well-known importer of Norwegian silver, and your spoon is typical of that country's manufacture.

As for the actual maker of the spoon, then very probably it is the work of Marius Hammer, a known supplier to Hulbert.

The date letter looks more like 'l' for 1926.
