Hi all.
I apologise in advance if this is the wrong section (London) and sends people on the wrong path, however when not knowing its hard to say at all what section I should be putting these to ask the question.
Does anyone recognise this mark on these salt spoon/shovels?
Thanks in advance
Colin
Unidentified Makers Mark
Re: Unidentified Makers Mark
The shell motif I learned about in relation to Provincial Denmark silver objects. ::: Often Provincial Denmark only has a maker's mark. :::: There's something about the overall proportions of the handle which reminds me of Provincial Denmark silver objects as well. ::: I would start in Denmark. ::
This simply does not seem English to my eyes. ::: If I am mistaken I will defer to the experts. :::

Re: Unidentified Makers Mark
the shell is more Norway than Denmark.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts, so quite possibly Scandanavian.

Yes, it is Danish in my opinion too. I would bet on Jens Jensen in Copenhagen. He was born around 1805, became master 11.5.1833 and was still alive in 1877. He made cutlery etc.
