Not sure country of origin? H G? Berg 830

Postby bmorebetty » Fri Aug 28, 2015 10:19 pm

Dear new friends,

I found some spoons that were part of my grandma's estate. They were in a ziploc bag with no other clues other than they were hand-written to be demitasse spoons.

Used a lupe and the best I could tell was this may say HG BERG 830 or HC BERG 830. There is kind of a simple yet intricate, folky design on the handle. They are engraved with a cursive H.H. on the posterior. Any leads or advice about where I may try cross-posting would be appreciated.

There was a goldsmith in Sandefjord, Norway called H.G. Berg back in the 1930's. Pretty sure this is one of his spoons.
