The medal was designed by Alexis Joseph Depaulis (1792-1867), and many examples with his signature (Depaulis F.) are known. Examples are found with mint-marks from at least 1832 to 1879; the bee is that of Alfred Renouard de Bussiere, Director of Production at the Paris Mint, 1860-1879. The earliest ...

Thomas & Henin , their mark registered 4 Oct 1861 at 9 rue des Enfants Rouge (later 77 rue des Archives) and cancelled 16 Aug 1865. Thus, your spoons can be dated quite narrowly to 1861-1865.

The principals, Jacques Hippolyte Thomas & Jean Louis Henin, had actually been partners since 1855 when ...

Bergen, Norway, April 1865, by Samuel Olson Bratland (1830-1896; master 1858)

Hope this helps!

The guarantee marks were used 1819-1838. The maker's mark was used 1824-1829, which properly falls within the range.

Thus, we can conclude that your spoon was made between 1824 and 1829.

Well, of course, anyone can be mistaken, but I stand by my assessment. While the first mark resembles the charge mark of JJ Prevost used 1762-1768, if it were genuine it would be accompanied by a warden's (jurande) mark in the form of a crowned letter, and a decharge mark of Prevost or his successor ...

Alas, these are not authentic French marks. They are fantasy imitation marks intended to create an aura of age. They are perhaps from Hanau, Germany, where the practice was common, but I do not associate this exact series of marks with a particular Hanau maker. I would check the piece carefully for ...

The mark is that of Bazile Chenaillier :

He registered his first mark - BC with a hummingbird and a thrush – on 17 Feb 1807, but changed the device to the running rabbit on 31 Aug 1824, which was cancelled on 2 Apr 1829. It was ...

Of the four makers with these initials listed in Ivanov's "Gold and Silversmiths in Russia", the only one working in Moscow was Nikolai Pavlovich Shishkov: "owned a gold and silverware shop, mentioned in 1913. Moscow"

The “P” charge mark did not come in to use until July 1784; the “U” here is the Paris jurande (warden’s) mark used July 1783-July 1784. The interlaced L’s is the charge mark here used by fermier Henri Clavel Aug 1782 – Feb 1789 in Paris on small silver and gold items. There should be a decharge mark ...

Auguste Demophile Touron

Born: 7 Mar 1801, Baccarat, Meurthe-et-Moselle, son of Jean Baptiste Touron and Catherine Petit
Married: Claudine Janthial (d. 7 May 1836)
Died: 7 Jun 1868, Draveil, Essonne

He is still listed in Paris in 1842 as Touron et Cie, but in 1845 as Touron (successeur Parisot).

I concur; I don't think that is a French census mark. Rather, I think it is the Swiss "Edelwiss" import mark used 1917-1937. I would like to see a clearer photo. Neither the style of the piece nor the "950" mark are consistent with early 19th century France.

There was an article by Maurice Meslans in the Nov/Dec 2017 issue of Silver Magazine - "Mississippi Valley Silver, Part 7" - devoted to this mark where he attributes it to New Orleans silversmith Jacques LeDuff (ca.1769-1821). Most scholars of New Orleans silver - including the late Pat Bacot, Ellis ...
