3 Teaspoons, it looks like a set, but all 3 are different marked. I do not recognize the marks, so help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

We see the boars head

The Duty mark:

Image
The Boars head or the 1831 duty mark, this mark is of two sizes. It did not give any guarantee on precious metal content. It has been used as a duty mark on metal with a gold or silver content of 250 minimum. This mark was destined for all imported, unmarked and invalid marked objects of foreign, national and unknown origin. The big sized Boars head used 1831-1855 and the small Boars head used 1831-1893

One has the town mark of Rotterdam; 4 lion's passant facing left in four quarters above vertical bar in a crowned shield

Year letter C for 1785

The maker's mark appears to me VL conjoined/monogram in oval for; Hendrik van Laar, registered in Rotterdam 1783-1807, born 1765

P.K

P.K could be for; Peter Johan Nicolaas Kruseman, registered in Leeuwarden 1807-1819.

Or perhaps pseudo marks, see K.A. Citroen Valse Zilvermerken in Nederland; P.K in rectangle pseudo maker's mark # 285 and two stars in rectangle pseudo maker's mark # 475
