Hi,

I'm trying to ID the maker of this ladle for a friend. The item has no official hallmarks and is struck with only maker's mark, three times:















I'm posting initially in the French section only on the strength of the handle shape and the style of the mark. The mark, as can be seen, is either struck with a damaged or fouled punch. The punch is crude and does not look like it was made by a punch-maker. It appears to be 'GA', 'GT' or 'GI' maybe, below a five-pointed star.

I appreciate this is a long shot.

Ladle is 15½ inches (39.5cm) in length and weighs 267 grammes

Any thoughts appreciated.

Just moving this topic to the 'Other Countries' section, to see if anyone recognises the mark there.

Hi Trev,

I believe this is another example of marking similar to a post I made recently viewtopic.php?f=7&t=44072

Although I can find no definitive proof, I am leaning towards Frech Colonial but I may be completely wrong

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your thoughts. I feel you may well be correct.
