Just adding images of those drops. We’ve already seen the Gothic Arch type, and also the Triangular type (sort of Pac Man like). But these spoons have both lines, so maybe, “Gothic Pac Man”?

In addition ...

Correction…The pricking personalization may be for “J.B.” or “T.B.”.

Smaller teaspoons. Both backs pricked out with “P.B.” over “1850” in script. Both with same style drop. Both punched only once with unknown maker. Stamp has unique points and seems best oriented to begin with an “H”. If not American Coin, then possibly European/Provincial? TIA

Looks like Mark #3 was used well beyond the (approximated?) 1925 cutoff year: https://www.925-1000.com/jensen_marks.html

“Bernadotte” style continued in useage as a silverplate pattern under Royal Copenhagen control at least through 1986 as per Trev’s postings here: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopi ... te#p191154

Got the object identity….George Jensen Item #303 at 6 1/4”, design #9 by Sigvard Bernadotte in 1938. But is this round version of a smallmark on record as an alternate to the 1933-44 oval? (And the blade here does not carry the Jensen Stainless stamp.)

Object: Small letter opener. Deco or Modernist style handle. Marked Denmark Sterling to one side. Second mark is a “Dotted Oval” containing letters “GI” from incuse punch work. Could this be an alternate small mark for the Georg Jensen firm? There would likely not be enough space to use the larger ...

Three images to document the historic location of John Hall & Co. at 56 King Street.
Image 1 of recent origin (2017) showing the storefront split in 54 (right) and 56 (left).
Image 2 of earlier origin (1984) showing the storefront split of modern 56 and 54.
Image 3 of oldest known (1930) showing ...

A purely “suggestive” connection. Can’t directly reference items in open auctions per site rules, but there is visible online a John Hall retailed a set of ivorine handled flatware with the silverplated parts marked by an [ LBS “Cross Pseudo” “Shield Mark”]. Perhaps the Hall firm worked with a ...

John Hall & Co. would seem to be the likely candidate for this (alternate ?) mark on the scoop end: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopi ... =John+Hall

Or did J.H. the younger (a nephew) go out on his own?

Here is where MCB (Mike) mentioned the 1893 registration of a “ TL” in Sheffield: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopi ... 05&p=74344

This is attributing to Thomas Levesley, apparently separately from Levesley Brothers (?): https://www.silvercollection.it/english ... XTDUE.html

Would he have engaged in making ferrules for other firms?

Small gothic “d” for 1896, with a maker “TL” which (?) could be an 1893 registration for Sheffield based on an old thread (smith’s name not given). Then the working end with an unidentified plater or retailer, possibly in Manchester (?). All help welcome, and any other insights. TIA [Ivory handle or ...

Thanks for trying. At least we now can say this firm definitely had commercial clientele.
The weight is rather heavy…maybe beyond typical household useage.

Blakstone left the book reference in this thread: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopi ... pe#p131775

From Asylum Street to the poor house…not a great story for one of the early names in building the silverplating industry. Thanks to all for chiming in. On a second thought,I re-suspended it by a tag string and gave it another whack with a heavy old Meriden Kings teaspoon. Rang like fat copper wind ...

Spoon sample. Pattern name sought if possible. (Identity based on info in older threads, but Talinskij Juvelirnij Zavod was another name mentioned for the shop from 1974. I’ll leave that historical string ball to our experts in unwinding.) Photos were before cleaning. I looks much better as designed ...

Looks like the “Eagle” has letters “F” & “P” (?) somehow placed on the wings. If so, it might relate to this past entry (missing images): https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopi ... ara#p60479

Possibly also Eagle “51”: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopi ... ra#p173251
