Stockholm / 1814 / makers mark SB?

[WarrenKundis]

8 5/8" (21.9075cm) table spoon, 1814, Stockholm, assay mark for Sweden, makers mark SB. Now there does appear to be a smaller mark to the right of the capital S and the B. Is it just the style of the calligraphy?

Have no idea why this image did not post the first time. Part of the learning curve.

This is the maker's mark for the master Samuel Blomberg in Stockholm. His working period was 1804-1833. Your spoon is made 1814 as you also stated. Blomberg used three different punches of which the punch on your spoon is S·B:. The other punches were SB and S.BLOMBERG. Blomberg started as apprentice 5.9.1792 and became master 14.9.1804 and he died 25.3.1833. Not much more known about him.
The mark between the three crowns and the year mark H3 is the town mark for Stockholm, the the crowned head of Saint Erik.

Q,

Thank you so much for clarifying my confusion on the particular design of Samuel Blomberg's makers mark then illustrating the other variations. Before cleaning it with a soften wooden toothpick, a technique you have all taught me, was not sure what I was looking at. Since this was my first Swedish piece Saint Erik was also a challenge, did find another site that illustrates given marks with the periods they were used.

As for Master Samuel Blomberg, you have told me a great deal. What would he think to know that on the 200th anniversary of the creation of his work, we're sitting here having a discussion in cyberspace. Beyond his wildest dreams and yet his still speaks to us.

Master Blomberg we salute you!
