18th Century Swedish Spoon

Post by Granmaa »

Does anyone recognise the marks on the Swedish spoon? Also, does this the pattern of spoon have a special name?

Hello

In a table of 17 and 18 century Stockholm year letters is the Gothic minuscule letter r registered for 1753.

Kind regards silverport
