Hi all
I ask for help to identify the date of these spoons.
The letter seems to me a lowercase l, but is not equal to the one in the dateletter chart of London. The maker's mark of the two spoons is not listed on the list of London's makers
Any help will be appreciated
Amena

Hi,
The maker mentioned above was known to have made similar spoons at the time. Everything fits in, slight differences in the background are expected when hammering marks on rather thin spoon handles.
Nice spoons, btw.
Kindest regards

Hi
Forgive my poor English
I'm not sure I understood the meaning of "slight difference in the background".
You mean the date letter outline?
I have noticed a difference in the letter l

Hi,
Your English is perfect. It’s my fault for not being more precise. I meant this (red arrow).
1866.
Cheers

Hi,
No, nothing to do with hammering, the cartouche with the rounded base is usually to be found on smaller items at this period. Probably a security measure to prevent the transposing of struck marks into a large item.
