The mark looks like Birmingham 1938 to me. I can't make out the maker's mark, and I don't know of an ICI.

Could you post a close-up of the maker's mark?

Thanks Granmaa
The letters of the mark are ;
A P & Co
...in stylised form.

The ICI on the front of the spoon has the 'C' clasped in the standing
lion's paws.
I am placing enlarged photo's on the URL

Thanks again.

Hi,
Agree with Miles, Birmingham 1938. I think this could possibly be an early trade mark for I.C.I. (Imperial Chemical Industries) they were founded in 1926,
Regards Trev.

I think I should change my name!

Thankyou for the gesture though :)
