Marked Gold Tone Table Spoon & Fork

[Essanjay]

Would anyone be able to provide any information about this fork and spoon, please?

Each measures 8¼" long, has a distinct gold tone and is impressed to the underside with an animal in a rectangle and the number 6 and 8, respectively. The shape of the spoon's bowl, specifically the long flat tip, suggests to me that they aren't British.

They showed up fine in the preview! I'll try again with a different photo host...

Bumping this with reference to similar thread here: viewtopic.php?p=167075&hilit=gold+spoon#p167075

Certainly, these seem to be works of goldplated flatwares, possibly of French “related” origins (?), and perhaps pre-1900. Does it seem that these are numerical standards for grams of gold used in plating? What base metal would be likely here? Would such sets have been very commonly found in the past? (I did grow up with a set of gold plated flatware that was brought out mainly during Holiday gatherings. Never saw it in other households though.)

It's hard to be certain just by looking at a photo, but my impression is that the cutlery in the post
Nuttin' but Struttin'
is actually gold washed, while the cutlery in the post
Marked Gold Tone Table Spoon & Fork
is made of gold-colored base metal (like brass or bronze) because the silver plating is gone or was never done
