I am having trouble locating the maker indicated on this 14.5 inch long solid silver ladle. I strongly suspect it to be Early American, maybe even 1700s, but would love some direction and information!

Thanks, Phil!
Do these work...







Again, item I am looking for help getting more information on...14.5 inch soup ladle, acid tested to be solid silver, marked SIDORSKI with other marks...really would like to know how old it is, where it might have been made...design makes me think Early American, 1700s, but would love any information even if I am proved wrong!
RJ

I believe it is Polish and date marked [12] for 1847. The form is typical and Sidorski is a mildly common surname there.

I believe the number 12 to stand for silver fineness 12 loth or 750/000

Sorry, I expressed myself poorly. That is the loth mark used in 1847 and it was actually the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time. The rubbed mark may indicate a city.

Peter, Thank you so much for this information! That is so interesting, because I actually had family in that area at that time...and I did not know Austro-Hungarian silver marks were called LOTH so I learned something new!
RJ

Yes, Peter, thank you for that.

Wev, you're welcome.😬

Peter.
