Hi,
Found this on a German fiddle pattern spoon with an engraved date of 1857 and maker's mark "Proll". Looking to identify the town or region.
Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom, Kassel city mark, in use since ca. 1850. Friedrich Proll, maker from Kassel, born 1797, active since 1824, died 1864. Best wishes, Bahner
