Serving Spoon, Right Facing Lion

Post by SilverSurfer »

A Scottish Oar Pattern serving spoon, 25.8 cm long and 55 grams in weight, has the following maker's and (pseudo?) hallmark:

I don't find this particular right facing lion passant in the Tardy index, the Canadian and Danish marks having the closest resemblance. Not apparent in the pic, this mark is finely made and quite small, about 2mm in width. Might anyone be able to identify this mark and maker? Thank you for any information.

Could only find one TH mark in my Canadian books, Thomas Hosterman, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Don't think your mark is his though.

Thank you, Pat. Sorry for the poor pic (scan) quality. The maker's mark is actually "IH" (or perhaps "HI") as best as I can see it. Might this suggest another possibility? Thanks again!
