Hello all,

I was looking at the makers marks on the website and found the one for
my teaspoon.
Am I reading this right:
Suckling Ltd Birmingham office Lion Passant 1855?

Suckling ltd is stated as being 20th century, and this is a wee bit before that...

I've got a matching set of these in the original box.

Thanks

My books say 1931 for that font and shield shape.

That makes more sense then!

None of my books go that modern...

Explains the box though.

Thank you very much indeed!
