Re: Continental silver miniatures

Hooijkaas is further down in there with three marks of these types also. You may need to compare your three.

Follow Dutch Pseudos trail far down to Hendrik Preijer entry here: viewtopic.php?t=56948

Are marks the same on each item?
The text will explain what each is, who used them, and what era.

Re: Reed & Barton Commonwealth Knife NHF

We can add Hotel Oakland (topmarked script) to early users from a tablespoon with the Pat. Applied For backstamp. The large hotel in Oakland California did indeed open in 1912 at the very time we find this pattern was available to commercial users.

Re: Need Help Identifying: Sterling or Silverplate? Reed & Barton “Stylist” Pattern

Not solid silver.
Look for it here in silverplate under Stylist (pattern) from 1932-on: https://sterlingflatwarefashions.com/whitemetal-category/reed-barton/

It may be a silverplated ware that was used in commercial service (hotel, restaurant, etc.) and recieved a thicker layer of plating or ...

Salad Fork: Owl & Swastikas

Unclear marks, if any. This is a wild guess and it could be Mexican or even another source. The only mark-like impressions appear on the back of the object. But it’s hard to tell if they are real or only tooling marks, TIA for any known info. (Tarnish was removed.)

Certainly, these seem to be works of goldplated flatwares, possibly of French “related” origins (?), and perhaps pre-1900. Does it seem that these are numerical ...

Re: spoon

Broken chains might symbolize the new freedom but also the re-establishment of the monarchy. The King was due to return in June, so perhaps registered and produced in preparation for that event?

Re: Spoon: DOHRCO PIONEER topmarked LA PALMA

Additional pattern update: I encountered two of the small seafood/pickle forks in the Pioneer pattern with the Dohrco back stamp. Neither had topmarks, but this adds confirmation that this was likely a full service flatware line.
