I have two spoons from Norway that I assume were part of a wedding tradition of some sort, as there are the initials of two people and a date (1888) engraved on the backs. These spoons are quite petite measuring 14 cm long and about 2 cm wide at the spoon bowl. I was wondering what kind of spoons ...

Wow, silver must have been good business. So if there were so many silversmiths, am I correct to assume that each town had at least one smith of its own and that silver was purchased in a locally? - If this spoon was produced in Tonsberg it was most likely purchased there?

I said it is Norwegian because these spoons have been passed down to me through my family which is from Norway- and all the other spoons are Norwegian. Allthough, I suppose I could have had a Danish ancestor 200 years ago.

Hi
Here is a spoon from Norway engraved with the year 1891. It has initials "N.F." and a rampant lion in a crest. The lion appears to be holding an ax. I didn't see this mark in the online encyclopedia. Any info would be appreciated.

Hello
This spoon is from Norway, but I don't recognize the marks. I didn't see them in your encyclopedia. They are worn but look to me like an "HJ" and an "M:" Any help on their origin would be appreciated.
