Re: Is this a lighter or what?

Didn´t know that. Still, what is the point for having a tinder?? I mean, you have the match, strike it, you have the fire, you can use the match to light anything up, no need to light a tinder and then light something with that tinder... me no understand.

Re: Is this a lighter or what?

Thanks! I am wondering how the match would be striked, or if indeed there was any match involved at all. do you think that the crevase on the top would hold some sort of sald paper or igniting material? Or the spark is done by hiting stone and steel, which will be kept in the box?

Re: Can somebody help me with mark on these spoons?

Oh I see. Well I can´t see the actual date on the 3 towers hallmark myself, but are clearly 3 towers. As it doesn´t seem any usual supects showing in the assayers mark maybe it is a more obscure marker who did the 3 towers hallmark, but I am not any expert in Danish silver manufacturing. I know ther...

Re: Mid century danish spoon, unknown maker

Yes exactly, the fact that I put the hallmarks image seems obvious enough that I found the makers name, but thanks anyways. In the other hand the spoon has the Danish hallmark of the 3 towers with the date, so no missing hallmarks. I omitted the picture of this hallmark (and put it in the title of t...

Re: Scandinavian looking spoon with weird mark

It is a tea spoon, with a probably gilded bowl. The style reminds me like a scandinavian style, but the Sterling hallmark and the marker mark have me confused.

Re: twice the B.P mark

I don´t know what says your source but in the internet I didn´t found anything but newer(post 1893) B.P. maker marks in Denmark. I found a older one that might make sense in Iceland, Bjorn Palsson (1854-1946). In any case this thread can be now moved to "Scandinavian silver" by the moderat...

Re: twice the B.P mark

Here is the thing, there is no pricking in this piece, maybe in the picture it does seem like it, probably because the image quality, but the monograms are engraved.

twice the B.P mark

So I came across this tea spoon, which I find quite old in style but I have no clue wether is american pre 1860 or not. Judging for the hallmark B.P it seems like it. Any clues on style, age, or maker? it has two marks, both identical. https://i.ibb.co/tqTb1pL/20200730-193003.jpg https://i.ibb.co/RP...

Re: Tiffany? teaspoons unknow pattern.

Thank you. Is the first time I see the spoon hallmarked in the bowl (besides the french way of hallmarking) and I was curious about that. Is true it might be a souvenir spoon from a sport, but not completely convinced about it.
