Italian Tea Caddy Spoon

I'm making an assumption when I call this piece Italian because of the partial oval around the 800 that I've seen described as such. The bowl is hand hammered, and I know nothing else about this spoon. Any help will be very much appreciated. https://i.ibb.co/nwGcprV/Italian-Tea-Caddy-Spoon.jpg https...

Online I've seen a few dresser set pieces with what looks to be the same design and with this same marking Sterling Pat’d 2000 and no maker given. Just wondering if anyone is able to to identify the manufacturer.

Good point. I jumped the gun. Sometimes it seems these designs are varied, but obviously not in this case.

Welcome to the forum. Not all coin silver was marked coin. I would take both pieces to be coin silver without hesitation.

One more try for the maker’s mark:

W with a J, an I, a T or even an F are my guess.
Not much help, but I have high hopes anyway.

Re: Mystery Hallmark

Welcome to the forum. I’d say it’s strictly the company’s choice. Whether the number is there or not is of no consequence to the consumer.

Large Austro-Hungarian Ladle

Looking for information about the marks on this ladle. The Diana head has an A to the right of it and a 3 under it. The maker’s mark, if that’s what it is, may be upside down. Also anything about the style will be appreciated. https://i.ibb.co/3TtTz9M/IMG-3406.jpg https://i.ibb.co/4SjpPHm/IMG-3418.j...

Re: Non-Meriden phoenix?

The trademark is crude and simplified as you say, and yet I believe it is still Meriden. Manufacturers did vary and simplify their marks as time went by.

Thank you buffalorobert. Now that you’ve given me the name, I have been able find out quite a bit about Peter E Kern. He seems to have been very enterprising and successful during his decade or so in Skagway.

Re: Hanoverian Spoons Identification

Thank you Phil. Turns out that just as I had feared, I had already asked this question and of course received the same answer. Maybe my eyes were better the first time because then I even recognized the letters of the maker’s mark.
Thanks again. They are beautiful little spoons.
