I have a set of 12 spoons, i do not know anything about silver marks or even if they are silver or silver plate they have marks on them, one mark is a shooting star with the letters C&L underneath the other is 18GR the gr has a line underneath both marks are in a seperate squares i would be grateful if anyone can help me in identifying them thank you

The 18gr mark would suggest that they are silver plated. This usually refers to the amount of silver used to plate flatware. In this case 18 grams per dozen.

many thanks paul for the info, i wonder do you or anyone else know anything about the other mark on the spoons which is a shooting star with the letters C&L underneath eg country of origin etc, thanks again barbara

Hello, probably from France, marks like "18 Gr." or "24 Gr." etc. can be found on French plated items. A pic of the mark would help ... Best wishes, Bahner

thank you so much for the information i think you are correct in it being french and i would love to put a picture of the marks up but have not worked out how to do it at the moment , i have them on the comp but cant seem to up load them but it looks something like this C&L underneath what looks like a shooting star thank you barbara

Did you ever find out who made your spoons? I have a set of large forks around 10 inches long that have this mark
