Spoon Marked JB

Post by zeplinater »

Hi everyone

I apologise if this is listed in the wrong part of the forum I don't know the mark but assumed maybe colonial? Can anyone help me with the maker and/or place of origin?
The spoon is around 9 inches long.

:::::::::: Could this be a hallmark for:

J.B
(Jan) Johannes Hendricus Beyleveld,
a Cape of Good Hope Colony silversmith. Baptized at the Cape on 13 June 1792. The son of Marthinus Beyleveld of Amsterdam and Abigael Johanna Combrink. Married Magdalene Christina Bam, niece of silversmith Johannes Andries Bam. His sister Johanna Cornelia married silversmith Dominique Boudin. Activity as silversmith is documented from 1814 to 1827.

::::::::::: I was also thinking possibly Switzerland because the hallmark doesn't match the hallmark shown for Johannes Hendricus Beyleveld of the Cape Of Good Hope Colony. ::::::::::: Could this be a later mark for that silversmith, or could this be a hallmark for "Johannes Andries Bam" whose niece married Johannes Hendricus Beyleveld? ::::::::::
