Re: Spoon: 12 Loth Hunnius Alternate Script?

Hello, considering the meltdowns of silver in Germany druring the past 220 years (Napoleonic Wars, WW I, WW II, 1970ies, 2011, past six months) I am astonished that old small silver objects of German origin exist today. Regards Bahner

Re: Cakes Server: Bruckmann & Sohne 800

Hello, this is a no-line pattern from the early 1930ies (possibly as early as 1928). designer is not known, my gut feeling: J.M. Lock. Beware: the shape of the eagle rarely helps to identify the date of production, this is just wishful thinking by dealers and collectors. Regards, Bahner.

Re: i buy this oval dish from thrift shop
