Please help with unknown spoon - Import marks 1895

Post by 606brethertonj »

Hi there,

Could anyone please help me identifying the origin of this spoon. It has London import marks for 1895, and two earlier marks. One looks like a cockerel or bird and the other is initials CoL. It looks like the bowl and handle were not always one form, the handle looks earlier and rougher than the bowl.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Can you post an image of the import marks? The identity of the importer may offer a clue.

Hi Trev,

I haven't got an image to hand, but I've already looked at the makers mark. Its EGP for Eustace George Parker.

Thanks,
James
