I tried comparing it to known grades of other ladles. The immediate problem is that Curtis was using a much thicker gauge which affects the results. There is definite flex but a bit more resistant than Continental 800 and 750 grades of alloy (in a thinner gauge of course). The tapping at various ...

Good match, “one who lacks an ocean catch”.🙈👨🏻‍🦯‍➡️🌋

Looks like mark #2 is a possible British Electroplater mark of Crown-in-Shield, with the crown useage outlawed by the latter 1890’s. That said, the second letter of mark #1 may be a “y” (underhung leg) which could point to a variant of John Yates without the added Sons. Israel Yudelman does not seem ...

Everyone seems to list their Curtis & Co. as being genuine Coin rather than the German Silver or Silverplate that the firm also produced. What this weeks’ concensus on what we see here? TIA

Might these Powells have any familial relationship to earlier Birminham Powell names in the glass & metals area?

H. & O. did not go entirely out of existence as early as has been reported. We see them here as a subsidiary company in a corporate concern:

Notice the very late phone number.

Started company in 1912. Brother Louis. Diamond merchants & wholesale jewelers.

Both Importers and (domestic?) distributors. Design looks familiar from objects with just a “Sterling Handle” type mark, but who were they and where did this stuff come from? Don’t recall any international import marks?

Whomever Phyllis was, she recieved this spoon on 25 December 1900 which was the last Christmas Day celebrated by Queen Victoria. (Certainly a Blue Monday, she would slip away over the next four weeks and on 22 January 1901 the era of the Victorians would cease to be.) Only marked “925 STERLING 1000 ...

Clarifying the description…a stuffing spoon of 11 3/8 inches.

Nothing very old. A pair of 900 candles from Cairo around 1992 (what I call the little reed boat with two heads above). What’s interesting is that the assay mark has been applied a total of four times, including inside the base of the stick cup. Even the Russians and French don’t do that much. Is ...
