Hello Nata37,
it seems like one of the marks on your piece is an exact match to a mark I recently posted a question about.

I have pasted the two sets of marks into one picture below, with the marks from Nata37 on the left and the stamps on my plate on the right:

The middle mark (gothic M) is for E. B. Münster, assay master (guardein) in Christiania (present day Oslo) 1857 - 1862.

Thank you for a very interesting answer!

Hi!
Could these be dutch pseudo marks?
I have not found any similar silver plate or silver marks yet.
Thank you for any information that you might have.

A Gorham Chantilly Sterling Teaspoon marked T

I found the https://www.925-1000.com/Gorham_Date_Code.html, and the marks seems to be in the style of the late 19th century.
Additionally, there is a sideways T in a rombus centered on the upper portion of the neck.

Does the T pinpoint the year of ...

J.H could be Jens Elias Hagenæss of Bergen, Norway
Hagenæss apprenticed as a filigree worker at the workshop of Marius Hammer from 1892.
He was later employed at the workshops of Marius Hammer (Bergen), Antonius Frisch (Kristiania, presentday Oslo), Clemet Berg (Kristiania) and at L. Gullhagen ...

Thank you, a backdated enscription would explain it! Interesting, enforcement of the 1893 standardization of danish hallmarking must have been lax and/or delayed.

Hi,
thank you both for the answer and the references, they are very interesting.

I must admit that I am still a bit confused, about the timing.
The date 16/5 - 91 is engraved on the back of the spoon. I suppose that makes it likely that it was made and stamped no later than 1891. If anything ...

Thank you for a very useful and precise answer. Regards, idarf

Ladle w/Croix de Lorraine

This ladle does not belong to me, but the owner gave his permission to post the images here.
There are two stamps;
one is a double cross (Croix de Lorraine) between the letters A and C,
the other is the letter C within a square with cut-off corners.
It is acid tested ...

Spoon, 68.7% silver, bought at a thrift shop in the port village Skudeneshavn, Norway.

Three stamps;
the makers mark "H.A.M.",

There is also a monogram "MH" and the date "16/5 - 91".

Who is the maker?
"11LØDIGT" might be ...

Hi Peter, thank you very much! idarf

1 Konijn

This souvenir spoon from Antwerpen is stamped with a rabbit in a barrel shape, and the number 1 in a square.
Is this the rabbit of Etablissements Konijn, Bruxelles?
Is the spoon solid silver or silver plate?

Any information you might have would be appreciated

This particular spoon was stamped in the year 1898.

Unfortunatley, the master mark/workshop mark "CLP" or possibly "GLP" is unknown to me, and then of course also the years of operation.

The rightmost mark is the danish national mark for solid silver - three towers - with the yearmark "98" in ...

I'd appreciate information on the manufacturers mark (LF with a crown?) on this souvenir spoon in 835/1000 silver from Hamburg, Germany.
Thank you!

A. S. Hodne, Christiansand (presentday Kristiansand, Norway) marked "A.H." (no pellet) from 1877.
This style (partly twisted stem, flowery decoration, light weight) was quite popular in Norway at that time.
"13 1/4" was prevalent before 1892, from then 830 S would have be used.

Hi John,

The makers mark "CFC" was registered by Carlman Silversmith of Stockholm, Sweden between 1957 and 2003.
However, your vase is marked "Z8", which is the swedish yearmark for 1950 (see dognose's link), and between 1945 and 1961 Carlmans officially registered mark was "CFC SAB", not just ...

The mark D.G.S. was registered by Danske Guldsmedes Sølvvarefabrik A/S in Slagelse, Denmark, from 1945 to 1977,
and later by Dansk Krone Sølv.
