Help with makers Mark A&Co

[manameswill]

Hello,

I have a 4-piece teaset, which I have managed to decipher is Dutch, but I can't find the makers marks on any sites. It's A&Co with what appears to be a two-handled urn/bowl above. It also has a mark of an "F" which i assume is the date letter for 1840.

Any help to get the maker would be wonderful, thanks!

J.D.Westenburg married on 27-1-1910 to E.W.F. v. Limburg.

Jacob Daniël Arnoldi was only registered as a goldsmith at the age of thirty.
Previously worked in the prominent studio of Hendrik Smits at whose (under)marriage
he was present in 1825 together with the silversmiths: Johannes Buijsen ,Johannes Gerardus Smits, (a cousin) and the shopkeeper Egidius Koopman. A few days after H.Smits closed his workshop on 16 May 1836, Arnoldi was registered at the office of the guarantee in Amsterdam (19 May 1836). Together with his business partner J.W.Wielick he established a silver workshop specialising in large silver. In the more than thirty years that the company existed, it moved once: in addition to the address Egelantiersstraat at the first cross street no. 24, the address Egelantiersstraat at the Prinsengracht, no. 209 (later mentioned as 499) is now listed. These buildings are not easy to trace because the numbering has changed once or twice and there are different numberings in the Municipal Archives.
After Wielick left the company in 1863, Jacob Daniël continued the company at the same address and under his own name until his death on 16-7-1873. The obituary read:
Today, after a painful suffering, our beloved Husband and father Jacob Daniël Arnoldi passed away, aged 67.
We mourn, but not as those who have no hope.
Widow M.Arnoldi-Ebink, Amsterdam 16 July 1873.
After Arnoldi's death, the business was briefly continued by his widow, together with his children. Working exclusively for the firm Benten en Zonen.
On 4 November 1873, the firm was taken over by the silversmith Frans Ernst Held (until May 1883).
The workshop and residence remained located at Egelantiersgracht no. 17.
