Silver salt spoon

Post by Vantlicht »

Silver salt spoon, partly with gold.
Marked with a makersmark which is unclear to me.

Need some help here. Thanks in advance!

The mark at the right, perhaps upside down, is not the small Boar's head to right, the Dutch duty mark used 1831-1893. I believe neither the French Hare's head to right.
The mark W sword B, a little double struck, to me appears not to be a Dutch maker's mark. I will move you to other countries, hopefully someone will chime in with the relevant information.

::::::: Immediately I thought Wilhelm T. Binder but why are there not additional German hallmarks accompanying the maker's mark? :::::::::::::

Here the W with crossed middle section does not resemble Wilhelm Binder's W

I doubt whether this is a master mark used by Wilhelm Binder. Can you show an example of this master's mark used by Wilhelm Binder?

:::::::: The middle "T" actually looks more like a sword so maybe we are looking for a W (sword) B hallmark. ::::::::: The second hallmark is enigmatic but perhaps someone will be able to decipher it, I was thinking possibly a rams head with a curled horn, I'm trying to enhance that image to see it better, hard for me to really get a good grasp on the actual image. ::::::::::::::::::::::::

::::::: all the WTB German hallmarks look different so it can't be Wilhelm but that was my thought process so it can be ruled out now. ::::::::
