Swedish maker GL

Postby SilverK » Tue Nov 10, 2015 3:22 pm

I'm stuck on identifying the origin of this pair of 1784 Swedish spoons. Can anyone help identify the maker and town of origin? Many thanks.

I bet you are because your spoons are not Swedish but Finnish :-)))))
Please note that the hallmark is only one crown not three.
The maker is Gustaf Lönnqvist 1827-1865 in the town of Porvoo/Borgå in Finland. The spoons are made 1835 (B2)

Well ! That sorts out that and teaches me to be more careful in future. Thanks very much indeed!
