It is about a pair of forks I bought. I didn't find a convincing mark for them.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

The maker appears to be Clarfeld & Springmeyer.

Hello

Clarfeld & Springmeyer, Hemer, Westphalia, Germany product range in cutlery was available in both materials: Silver alloy and Plated. In this case, the forks are plated.


The pattern, is an interpretation of the leaves and fruits of the Ginkgo trees (Ginkgo biloba); it’s a »Werksentwurf« (Factory design); time range: 1900 to 1910.


Clarfeld & Springmeier’s Trade Mark, I baptized «Ankermänner-Marke» (Anchor men mark); this mark is very often confused by imprecise antique dealers by «Gemini» mark of «J.A. Henckels Zwillingswerk» in Solingen.

For to get sounded informations on the numerals on plated items, please read this basic information:
