Didn´t know that. Still, what is the point for having a tinder?? I mean, you have the match, strike it, you have the fire, you can use the match to light anything up, no need to light a tinder and then light something with that tinder... me no understand.

Thanks! I am wondering how the match would be striked, or if indeed there was any match involved at all. do you think that the crevase on the top would hold some sort of sald paper or igniting material? Or the spark is done by hiting stone and steel, which will be kept in the box?

Not sure what is it! Any clue?

I found this spoon, seems to be silver, and has two hallmarks, both the same, JS, for the style of the hallmarks looks like american silver and that is why I post it here but I might be wrong.

Oh I see. Well I can´t see the actual date on the 3 towers hallmark myself, but are clearly 3 towers. As it doesn´t seem any usual supects showing in the assayers mark maybe it is a more obscure marker who did the 3 towers hallmark, but I am not any expert in Danish silver manufacturing. I know ther...

Yes exactly, the fact that I put the hallmarks image seems obvious enough that I found the makers name, but thanks anyways. In the other hand the spoon has the Danish hallmark of the 3 towers with the date, so no missing hallmarks. I omitted the picture of this hallmark (and put it in the title of t...

Found it!

Nailed it, that is the hallmark!

It is a tea spoon, with a probably gilded bowl. The style reminds me like a scandinavian style, but the Sterling hallmark and the marker mark have me confused.

Any clue who the maker could be?

According the database of this very page it seems to me: Peter Hansen, from Randers, 1893-1937

I don´t know what says your source but in the internet I didn´t found anything but newer(post 1893) B.P. maker marks in Denmark. I found a older one that might make sense in Iceland, Bjorn Palsson (1854-1946). In any case this thread can be now moved to "Scandinavian silver" by the moderat...

Here is the thing, there is no pricking in this piece, maybe in the picture it does seem like it, probably because the image quality, but the monograms are engraved.

That is an interesting lead, probably you nailed it, but what is it so particular about it?

So I came across this tea spoon, which I find quite old in style but I have no clue wether is american pre 1860 or not. Judging for the hallmark B.P it seems like it. Any clues on style, age, or maker? it has two marks, both identical. https://i.ibb.co/tqTb1pL/20200730-193003.jpg https://i.ibb.co/RP...

Thank you. Is the first time I see the spoon hallmarked in the bowl (besides the french way of hallmarking) and I was curious about that. Is true it might be a souvenir spoon from a sport, but not completely convinced about it.

Hello,1925, London, T and Co. Which I assume it Tiffany and Co, am I right? Does anybody know what is the name of this pattern?
