Hello, I believe that is the mark of Frères (Brothers) Gely from Lausanne. Marc Gely (1787 - 1871) and Charles Gely (1789 - 1860) started working together in 1813. In 1814 they aquired the old workshop of Papus & Dautun (see other thread on Swiss spoons). Again one can say that the workshop of Frères Gely was the most important in Lausanne at the time. Best wishes, Bahner

Hi Bahner,
Thanks again, I'd be lost without you!
