Unidentified N H or H N mark on salt spoon

This two die mark is on a pair of coin salt spoons. Anyone seen it before? The same mark is illustrated in Flynt & Fales, Heritage Foundation Collection of Silver, p. 366, but it is not identified. http://d.imagehost.org/t/0656/1937_204.jpg http://b.imagehost.org/t/0430/1937_204_img2.jpg

Boar's head pseudo hallmark on Wm. G. Forbes sugar bowl

Has anyone seen this mark before? It appears on the inside of the flared footring of a ca. 1810 sugar bowl marked by William G. Forbes of NYC, also marked with pseudo hallmarks of sheaf of wheat and bird's head. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26102598@N06/2449326936/" onclick="window.open(th...
