Unknown sterling maker and pattern
I have a sterling steak carving fork (9") with an unknown maker's mark. The mark is a circle in the middle and an outward pointing triangle on each side of the circle. The circle has what looks like the letter "A" in it, but the middle line of the "A" is missing. There are p...

Re: Unknown mark Clover? Enamel Work
Thank you very much -- that's the pattern!
Any thoughts on piece type? I took a look at Replacements and this piece does not match the lettuce fork shown there. I did see a different piece with enamel work, though.

Unknown mark Clover? Enamel Work
Hello, I have what I think might be a 10" sterling lettuce fork. It has what appears to be a 4-leaf clover mark, but I am not sure. It also has enamel work on the handle and a patent date of 1893. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Dave https://i.postimg.cc/5y2dS0VZ/IMG-5953.jpg https://i.postimg...

Sterling 950 Japanese or Chinese Themed Long Spoons
These 5 long handled spoons have a Japanese or Chinese theme and are marked only with "STERLING 950" on the underside of the bowl. Anyone have any thoughts as to maker and/or age? Thank you. Dave https://i.postimg.cc/63kSRWKQ/IMG-5732.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/05ShvwGK/IMG-5735.jpg https://...

Coin Silver? spoon
At first, I thought this 4-3/4 spoon might be British sterling, but the close I look, the less I think that. Any idea as to country of manufacture, maker, and/or year?

Unmarked Sterling
These 6" teaspoons are marked only with STERLING. One of them appears to have something stamped over the STERLING stamp. Any ideas as to maker and/or pattern? Thanks, Dave https://i.postimg.cc/zGTDbjSW/IMG-5594.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4dxX0TCb/IMG-5595.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/5t14wCnr/IMG-559...

Individual Fish Fork & Knife German?
I have a set of silverplate individual fish forks (7-3/4") and knives (8-1/2") with a fish design on each. I believe they are German silverplate because of the "100" mark on the reverse. I see no other marks. Any idea as to country of manufacture, pattern, age, or maker? Thanks, ...

Gorham Mfg Co Lion Anchor G mark help
I have 3 forks (6-1/2") that are marked with only Lion Anchor G Gorham Mfg Co. I cannot find the pattern anywhere. They appear to be quite old, very thin and easily bent. When I got them, they were terribly bent -- I did my best to make them somewhat presentable. My best guess would be the Ital...

Smoking device?
Hello, I'm not sure what this is, but it looks like something used for smoking tobacco. The end unscrews and opens up. There is a makers mark that appears to show "ALPS", which could mean Scandinavia. It measures 7-1/2" in length. There is also some kind of mark on the mouthpiece. Any...

Wm A Rogers unknown pattern
I'm 90% sure this 7" knife is made by Wm A Rogers, even though a lot of the maker's mark is worn away. I cannot find the pattern, and I know that it is probably silver plate, but it has the look and feel of coin silver to me. Did Wm A Rogers make anything besides silver plate? Thanks, Dave http...

Re: Thorvald Marthinsen?
I can't tell if the handles on the dessert tongs are sterling (830) or silver plate. The look a little different than the rest and there might be a separation about halfway down the handles.
