I have a 6-1/8" spoon with a mark of "40" a design "NM". It might be Thorvald Marthinsen. I also have a set of 8" dessert tongs that I think might have the same markings -- I can't tell. The symbol has 7 dots arranged as 4 and then 3 below it.

Anyone have any idea who this might be from? I believe the "NM" stands for "Norskt Mönster" meaning Norwegian pattern.

Any help is appreciated.

I just discovered that it's Magnus Aase.

Trev.

I can't tell if the handles on the dessert tongs are sterling (830) or silver plate. The look a little different than the rest and there might be a separation about halfway down the handles.

This is a sandwich pinch of nickel silver 40 Is the silvering on this one. 40 ismfor home. 60 ice for harder use. 90 are for hotels. 40 means it works = 40 grams 999` silver on 12 forks and 12 spoons.

Thorvald Marthinsen sign when its plated are Tower with 40,60,90 (plate) and often NM for Norwegian patterns

The spoon is the Th. Olsens silverplate pattern 'Korall' (Coral) - one of the patterns I've seen with plating as low as 20 gram.
