Hi
I have a lovely imported silver caddy spoon, but i dont know who or where this other marks come from or the date any help would be appreciated

i know it was imported into Chester in 1899 by B Muller & Son but havent got a clue what the other marks are, would love to know where it originates from and crafted by who ?

Thanks in advance
Mandy

Hi,
Sponsor`s mark of B Muller & Son (Berthold Muller), Wardour Street, London.
Importer of German silver.
Assayed in Chester, date letter ``Q`` for 1899.
Letter ``F`` for ``foreign`` used 1867- 1904.
So, most likely made in Germany. Searching for the maker.
Regards

Hi
Thanks for the help youv'e given , i'm also not having much luck with maybe the German maker or place

Hello again,
Berthold Mueller distributed a lot of Neresheimer silver.
Besides, one of the marks on the caddy spoon (on the left) can be seen under Neresheimer here:

(Right column, second row on the right, small mark)

Take a look here (Trev`s post, scroll down).

Hi Mandy,

Should it help with an answer, Berthold Müller was perhaps the sole agent for B. Neresheimer & Söhne of Hanau and he was also known to import items by W. Lobensteyn of Schoonhoven, J.D. Wendels, also of Schoonhoven, and Franz Held of Vienna.

Thank you Trev

Hi,

one question. Why didnt this piece have the englisch import hallmarks? Its seems if it has the normal Chester assay mark?
thanks

because the item dates before 1904. There was only an F as Import mark.
