The stamp box shown on the main site is dated to 1888 because it's engraved on the lid, Frank W. Smith was the manufacturer of that piece and this one, '28' is their production code, they wholesaled to various retailers, who could add their own marks, in this case Howard & Co. may have also added ...

Might suggest 'leaf & dart':

Thank you, WEV, should have checked your site, but just pulled the name from my files - apparently by 1925 his name wasn't remembered correctly (and my memory isn't what it used to be either...)

In my opinion, for what it's worth, despite what may be found online, this is an American silverplate piece produced in the early 20th century with spurious marks and a fantasy heraldic achievement:


Someone on a different forum posted the link to the 1928 article in The American Magazine of Art ...

Great piece - I love a rocking horse. This is my girl (or boy) in walker, 1737 by Arnoldus van Geffen, one from a year earlier is #566 in Aardewerk's 'Tall and Small':

So, another addition to this 15 year old thread - from the 1895 Jewelers' Weekly Complete Directory of Jewelers and Kindred Trades, a Watson, Newell & Co. ad with the 'H' pennant and the same pennant in the directory as belonging to the Harvard Sterling Co.:

From a 1982 article on Horsens silversmiths, showing the 'J.Guldbrandsen' mark, noting Johannes Guldbrandsen (born in Vejle) was made master in 1895, the ...

Can't say I see a problem with the 3-tower mark, in 1893 the Copenhagen mark became the national mark (and none of the Danish Makers' Marks onsite show any earlier date than 1893) - to my eye, compared to a clear 1899 mark, looks like your spoon might also bear a '99'. The similar spoon, including ...

Personally, have a hard time seeing this Oberammergau souvenir spoon, the handle cast, with a cross at its terminal, as being Yogya silver. Believe it's German, the maker's mark does appear to be upside down, likely the 'S.M' mark of Pforzheim maker Simon Maier, can't quite make out the top mark ...

This is International's 'Lord Robert' holloware pattern, more typically found with 'International Silver' and the Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co. 'knight's-head' mark, along with the pattern name.

Your date code is at left on the base, but is too fuzzy for these old eyes to make out - would be no earlier than 1898...
