Bone Marrow Scoop with Unintelligible Markings

Post by joburn88 »

Hello all,

Found this interesting piece in a lot of silverware recently - looks like sterling but I can't make out the maker.

Done some digging here and there but coming up dry.

Anyone farmiliar enough with these marks to know even though they're worn past recognition?

Thanks in advance

Hi welcome to the forum. I believe it to be made in London, 18th century (1724?). Possible maker(?) check out John Holland (I)

Great! From similar scoops I've seen in my research I had a feeling it was 18th century.

Impressive detective work with only half-marks to work with.

Thank you!
