Re: Forks acquired in the netherlands
Indeed town mark Groningen, including year letter ( 6 = sixth year letter series) L for 1735-1736. Peter Adding the number for the letter series is very useful. They should have done that everywhere! Maker's mark and town mark/year letter struck once for silver 2nd standard (Kleine keur). Peter The...

Re: telescopic claw
I agree with Phil, there are quite a few examples of telescoping toasting forks. Inserting that into a container of brine could cause the hollow areas to flood; making it difficult or impossible to clean; and posing potential health hazards and corrosion. Thank you phil, dog and jay! Here is an art...

Because the mark has distinguishable features I was wondering if someone can tell me when this mark was in use. 18 ct underlined letter t. The image doesn't s...

Re: language of engravings
Looks very much like Hebrew to me but you have to take account that the letters in the stamp are mirrored so that in the actual wax seal they would be correct. Unfortunately I can't read Hebrew but I could recognize several letters when quickly comparing them to the letter chart found in the Wikipe...

Re: spoon mark 9c jss
I looked in my book "zilvermerken van voet" and it's there as you say. I am still getting to know the book and city marks. Using the date and city name you provided I was able to pin down the makers mark to "Johannes Warren" and find the same marks on the web: https://keuren.zilv...
