Who is JS?
The other side is marked with the "3, dog head, A"-hallmark.




Thank you a lot! Thomas

Josef Seidl, a silversmith active 1875-1910 at various addresses in Vienna. An 1898 trade listing notes that he is a purveyor of general wares: tea & coffee sets, liturgical wares, flatware & cutlery, toilette pieces, fittings, etc.

Hope this helps!

:) Thank you so much! It's such a good feeling to connect pretty pieces with a name or a story.

Would you please have a look at the AP/AR-hallmark of my other sugar tongs as well?
