Unknown floral teaspoon

Post by JanGroen »

Good evening
I found this teaspoon earlier this week. It has 3 marks on it, WS, 800 and unknown mark. It is also engraved in the bowl.
I used my disection microscope to take pictures of the marks.

It does indeed. The initials may possibly be 'SM', struck upside down.

See: http://www.djokja.nl/werkplaatsen.html and click on 'lijst van initialen' at the bottom of the page.

The text in de bowl drives me nuts, something like obeiummeigdu?
The text above the 800 mark, does it is read: dépos?

Maybe Oberammergau, a municipality of Bavaria? Or a souvenir of the Passion Play held there at the beginning of every decade.

Personally, have a hard time seeing this Oberammergau souvenir spoon, the handle cast, with a cross at its terminal, as being Yogya silver. Believe it's German, the maker's mark does appear to be upside down, likely the 'S.M' mark of Pforzheim maker Simon Maier, can't quite make out the top mark, possibly 'depos'...

Yes, I agree with Cheryl, a German silver souvenir teaspoon.
