Help with German Hallmark Request

Post by Eggoman »

Hello:

I acquired several large German (I think) Serving or Tablespoons at an Estate Sale and am looking for ANY information regarding them. The spoons measure ~9.25" long, are VERY similar, and bear the Danzig City "crown and 2 crosses" mark. But they appear to be made by 2 different makers. My questions are these: Who made them? When? (I am ASSUMING they are pre-1886) What is their Silver content? 13/16 Toth?

Because the spoons bore no marks regarding their silver content/fineness, the Seller ASSUMED that they were plate - I suspect otherwise, tho!

ANY information that you can provide would be quite welcome!

Cheers!

Hi Greg,

Please remember in future posts that only one item per topic is permitted, otherwise confusion will reign.

Rosalowsky = Robert Adolf Rosalowsky
the W- mark is probably Gottlieb Ephraim Wulsten and the Z-Mark coulb be from Zacharias &Sohn

the spoon are about 1860-70
and 12 Loth = 750/1000
