Dear forum, I own a set of tea spoons., cake forks and a cakeserver. The yearletter is a crowned N, which indicates juli to december 1948. The letter of the essay office is polished away so that I don't know. The cakeserver is the only fully marked item, the spoons are just marked woth the "swo...

Dear Silverport, Thank you very much for your extended research. Although without "proof" - so far I could not find these napkin rings in Keltum's product range but I intend to contact them on this shortly - I am convinced that you are right: The mailhorn on the napkin rings resembles the ...

Dear Postnikov, Thank you very much for this additional information! It is the only Russian object I have and it makes me think of my old-uncle Nicolaas van Wijk - same name as mine - who lived for a while in Moscow (in 1903 in the Leontjevskij pereulok) to study the Russian language. Later he tough...

identification of marks on a silver lamp

Dear forum, I discovered this site recently and now I am trying to find out more on an electric silver lamp we own. I had a look on the German makers mark and doubt between Gebrueder Deyhle and Gebrueder Kuehn, both from Schaebische Gmuend. Perhaps there are even more similar makers marks? Can anyon...

Dear Qrt,

Thank you for the time you were willing to devote to this simple coffeespoon. It is nice to know so many details on one of the objects which one has gathered over the years and which are surrounding him every day.

Best regards, Niek

Dear Qrt,

Thank you for your efforts. I had a closer look and noticed that there is guild in the grooves: probably it was guilded all over and by often polishing most of the guild was removed over the years.
Hope to learn more.............

Best regards,
Niek

Dear Qrt, Here is a better picture of the marks. It looks like the background is guilded, it s not dirt. Our friend told us that she had received the spoon more than twenty years ago from her aunt. To me the Greek letter looks like a "delta". http://j.imagehost.org/0980/russian_mark_teaspo...

Dear Qrt,

Thank you for your reply. Approximately three years ago we got it from a friend (she didn't like it) who got it from an aunt. So probably (many) more than five years.

I shall try to clean up the mark and make a new picture (and post it) asap.

Best regards, Niek

marks on Chinese? teaspoon

Dear forum, I guess that this teaspoon is made in China. My "gutfeeling" tells me that it is silver, so probably it is not. Can anyone tell me more concerning this teaspoon? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Niek [img] [img]http://j.imagehost.org/0105/chinese_lepel.jpg[/img] [/img] [img]...
