Thorvald Marthinsen?

Post by hpidaves »

I have a 6-1/8" spoon with a mark of "40" a design "NM". It might be Thorvald Marthinsen. I also have a set of 8" dessert tongs that I think might have the same markings -- I can't tell. The symbol has 7 dots arranged as 4 and then 3 below it.

Anyone have any idea who this might be from? I believe the "NM" stands for "Norskt Mönster" meaning Norwegian pattern.

Any help is appreciated.

I can't tell if the handles on the dessert tongs are sterling (830) or silver plate. The look a little different than the rest and there might be a separation about halfway down the handles.

The spoon is the Th. Olsens silverplate pattern 'Korall' (Coral) - one of the patterns I've seen with plating as low as 20 gram.
