1905 Figural Spoon Maker?

Postby laudare » Fri Nov 14, 2008 3:10 pm

I assume that this spoon is Dutch....There are 3 marks on the piece. One is a square with a H. One looks like "MC" or "MG" and the other is "N:" I have no clue who the maker is but I believe it was made in 1905.

Hi,

It looks like the dateletter of 1905 indeed. The "H" is most likely a pseudo dateletter. The MC is a documented pseudo maker's mark (used on spoons in Schoonhoven and Groningen). The maker's mark N2 is that of Brothers Niekerk while they were in Groningen (1902-1927) .. they also had a base in Schoonhoven.
