Hi Theoderich,

Your spoon is made by Jacob Andreas Bödewath born in 1815, master in Tønder 25.10. 1841 and he died in 1886. Since the 17th century a ship is used as the town mark of Tønder.

The fork is made by Peder Eriksen, born in 1826, master in Haderslev 12.10. 1854. He died in 1869. The bridge mark is the town mark.

Both Tønder and Haderslev are situated in Jutland close to the German border.

Hope this helps.

Best regards/JAKJO

Thank you JAKJO

I could not find this marks in my silverbooks. The townmakr of Tonder was in the book - but with only one mast or with tree masts.
The town Haderslev was not in the book.

I will make an online - silverbook - like Wikipedia.
I give a Image of the silvermark in the forum - and an description of the townmark in a database.
If I have an unknown mark - I give the description in - and the database gives me some silvermarks from the database with the most matches of the description.
