Tablespoon with

[bstaunto]

Hey team,

Here is a tablespoon I recently purchased. Has anyone seen these marks before? It looks like SCB?

I thought maybe North American? 1760-1780 sort of period?




As always, any thoughts would be great!

Hi!

It is a Danish spoon. The maker is Soren Christian Bonde, and it is made ca 1800.



@admin, please move to Scandinavian

btw: The Forum should rename Scandinavian to Nordic Countries (incl Denmark)

Wasn't expecting that! Thanks Thomas!

The attribution may well be correct, but there are significant differences between the struck mark and the printed one. The engraving is in a British/North American style, that is to say, with the bowl below, rather than above.

Hopefully others will add their thoughts.

Hi!

Yes the engraving is British/North American style. In the Nordic countries pin punch engraving was more common at this time. But remember the waves of European Immigration to America during 1800s. The engraving can be later. I don't think the differences between the struck mark and the printed (it's a drawing made by hand) one is significant. Anyway I am almost never certain when it comes to hallmarks, so I rephrase to; my best guess is ;)
