Ok, I took out my magnet. The stem is super magnetic but bowl nothing at all. So this is silver plated steel.

Backside bowl teaspoon, the damaged spot, in my opinion shows the spoon is silverplated. Peter. I have just sanded and buffed the back of the bowl to get rid of a very deep scratches. No nickel came through but a metal resembling a more grey silver color. I now wonder if this could be silver plated...

Good day Found this teaspoon today. I think it could be silver and not plated. It's marked with a wheel in triangle, S L and then an anchor. I am also interested in the K.D with crown mark on it.

It's Maltese silver.

Trev.

Thank you Trev. Any idea when it was made?
I love finding these weird hallmarks.

Jannie

I did some research. I believe it is a Cape Silver fork by Georg Egbertus Wolhuter.

Good afternoon Another find from among a box of plated ware. This one stand out from the rest. It is very bulky and seemed old. It's marked with 3 stars wit EW in-between. I believe it to be colonial silver. Any help will be welcome. Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/nM9m5kjH/20241103-142634.jpg https://i...

Good afternoon I found this fork earlier today on a Market. It was among siver plated ware but I don't think it is plated. Could this be a very old London silver spoon? Makers mark seems to br G F, date letter a W and it looks like a crowned leopard head. The coat of arms is a rams head with a twig ...

Thank you for the fast respond and help with the hallmarks. I would not have thought it could be deciphered.

Good day Another market find. Found it among silver plated cutlery. It only has 2 marks that I can't seem to read. Any help will be welcome.

Good evening I found this teaspoon earlier this week. It has 3 marks on it, WS, 800 and unknown mark. It is also engraved in the bowl. I used my disection microscope to take pictures of the marks.

Thank you, I wonder if these spoons were remarked after they broke up. Still can't believe I found these among silver plated cutlery.

Jannie

Good evening
So I did some digging and found that the original mark on these spoons would have been by Newlands & Grierson. N & G. I am still trying to figure out when they broke up.

Good day I found this beautiful hand made tray today. It is made of copper with a very primitive type of plating on it. I reminds me of Persian work but not certain. I believe the hanging hook is a later add on. Any help will be welcome. Groete Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/CZM1WgdX/20240615-121024.jp...

I have found a tureen online made by potentially the same maker. Also with German marks



So not so sure how it ties into a French silverplate company.

Good afternoon I found this serving spoon at the market today. It is marked 12 G.CHEVALIER. It also carries the innitials A B 1874. Any information would be appreciated. Can't seem to find the maker.

Good evening I found this interesting wood and metal holder today. It was made from mahogany wood from the La Marguerite paddle ship that got scrapped in 1925. The lion handles and rim seems to be plated. The badge on the bottom could be solid but no markings. Anyone seen a similar piece? Groete Jan...

Good day This is my first piece of Mexican silver. It is a brooch/pendant 5cm in diameter. I think it is 925 but marksxwre very rubbed. It is by Taxco and marked MEXICO 925 TAXCO. The maker is TV .23. Any idea of age and maker will be welcome Dankie Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/vgcJGP9j/20240310-1448...

Possibly Romanian, 1926-1937?

See: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34902

Trev.

Yes the crown resembles the one u posted soo long ago. Seems like Romania silver is not well studied

Good day Another market find today. This time a teaspoon with numbers, an unknown crowned letter and a bird in a diamond. Any information will be helpful. I tried my pest to get clear pictures of the small marks. https://i.postimg.cc/Yh3jnt8K/20240217-155747.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/d7z0k3Qd/2024021...
