Hi,

Great spoons, thanks for sharing them with us.

Do you know who the maker was?

Hello porter27,

the spoons were made about or a little after 1900 by "Robbe & Berking" from Flensburg, Northern Germany (arrow mark). The date on the spoons seems to be 1908(?).
Petersen is the retailer. Probably it is Asmus Christian Petersen, born 1833, since 1866 in Flensburg. But the name Petersen is very common there. So may be it is another Petersen.

Best regards,
ringo

Hello porter27,

the arrow mark was used up to 1964 by Robbe & Berking. Here some more informations:

This arrow mark is often to find with retailers marks.

Kind regards,
Ringo

Justine Carstensen & Familie
Nieböll d. 8 maj
1908

N.C. Heinsen
Tegelwang 1908

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nieb%C3%BCll

This is a gift. From Justine Carstensen and family on May 8th in Northern Germany. Used to be Danish untill 1864 so this is in the Danish tradition.
the other one could be the person receiving - or could be gift from as well. But my guess would be receiver.
