Tea spoon

[huszas76]

Hello!

I found a tea spoon formerly, and i'm pretty sure that's not from eastern Europe. That's all I know about it.
A made some pictures




Please, if you can, tell me, where this spoon made.
Thank You!
Regards!

szia, a 916 spanyolországban ill. annak gyarmatain volt használatos 1938 előtt. a címeren látható tapír is csak latin-amerikában él. a portugál ág kizárható, mivel ott sasmadárral jelölnek. ha tévedek, akkor abból lehet kiindulni, hogy 22/24=0,916 tehát aranyalapos országot kell keresni üdv peter

Admin edit: Google translate : Hi, Spain and the 916. the colonies were in use prior to 1938 the Tapir is the only coat of arms to Latin America. The Portuguese branch can be excluded, as there are designated with a bird. If I'm not wrong, then it can be assumed that 22/24 = 0.916 So welcome to Gold Country but look carefully. Peter

Bilbao, Spain, and the maker is Luis Alvarez. The lowermost mark is a stylized "LA" monogram in a circle, and the second is a leaping dophin over "A", all in a heart; the image needs to rotated 90°to make these out. The third mark is the Bilbao arms, and the "916" the fineness (silver, not gold). My reference states only that Alvarez was working in the 20th century, but (as noted) your spoons appear to have been made before the introduction of national marking was introduced in Spain in 1934.

Hope this helps!

Hay un pequeño error en la identificación de la marca, se trata de Joyería Platería Relojería Anduiza y no de Luis Alvarez.



Importante platería vasca, creada por Luis Anduiza Goicochea, afincada en Bilbao desde al menos 1896 en el que registra su primera marca. Hacia 1935 forma parte de la empresa "Cubiertos y Orfebrería Amurrio", afincados en Guernica. Hoy en día siguen con la fabricación de cubiertos bajo el nombre de "Servicios de Mesa de Guernica".
Le adjunto una antigua factura con la marca impresa.



Tengo un pequeño y antiguo catálogo de cubiertos de esta empresa, si quiere que compruebe si sus cubiertos aparecen en el catálogo, mándeme una foto de la parte superior.

Saludos
