I believe I have Plique-A-Jour set of twelve spoons. I can clearly see the heart shaped or as I would call it the Mickey Mouse face shpe with the three crowns stamped in the hallmark (Swedish). What I cannot Identify is the hallmark next to the .925 stamp. It appears to be a sideways figure with three points or legs on the side. Could it be a city of stockholm hallmark, Erik's head with a crown sideways???.
How old, who made them,

Ahaa, now I am back on track (your PM) The spoons are not Swedish but imported to Sweden before 1913. At that time there was no special Swedish import mark in oval shield. The origin of the spoons is in Norway and the maker David Andersen in Oslo 1888-1925.

The mark on the left appears to be David Andersen. I would assume the 3 crowns (swedish) would mean that David Andersen of Norway made the spoons and they were imported to a swedish jeweler for sale.
