Hmm

So this one confuses me, could be just plated
Looks like maker mark: 11 GZ
Other one looks like a yearletter, but there is no minerva or material

Thanks

Hmm indeed Tux, the (deformed) year letter J for 1919, please clean the maker's mark and show us a few clear enhanced images, perhaps this will help to identify the maker. Thanks,

Ok so I'm back with my homework, I used different kind of methods and light
I used my pencil eraser even more to clean it up, hopefully these are better.
It might be G2 instead of GZ at the bottom

Could it be related to Gero as it comes with yearlike A-Z markings in a circle and GZ
I thought the letter was a "J"

Your food pusher, in Dutch called ‘eetschuifje’. It took some time but now I think an earlier mark has been changed (overstruck) with the GZ mark in rectangle for Ned. Fabriek van Gouden en Zilveren Werken (v/h J.A.A. Gerritsen n.v.), registered in Amsterdam and Zeist, this particular mark used 1908 - til ?

Food pusher, how does it work to push food onto a spoon or fork, particularly for a child if he or she weren’t supplied with a knife at the table

The year letter, perhaps J for 1919.

Thanks Peter, it remains a weird one, why is there no Lion passant or Minerva marks.
The J also doesn't look like any J from the yearletters, I only know the skinny 1919 version of J without top stipe.
Is there another version? Im not even sure it's not just plated, its a weird one for sure.
Thanks for your help and digging and the foodpusher info, very cool!
Many times I wonder how it was used, what was common back then is forgotten now.

Solid silver, part of a set, instead of year letter, the sword mark should have been used. Mistakes were made and not often corrected. At the other hand, the year letter perhaps a broken O, made with damaged punch, for 1949.

To be sure have it tested.

So purely random I came across these spoons online that look very simular.
They come with maker info: JAA Gerritsen Zeist 1904-1924
It matches with the GZ in the makersmark (finding G.Z. as well), but not the shape nor the 11(?) on top of the one searching for
