Hi everyone I have pieces here that I'm not sure on the maker. First is a tea strainer - the mark is a bit rubbed - looks like an N, then maybe a P? and the other I just don't know.


Next a mardi gras souvenir spoon. Is this Frank Whiting? It does look a bit like the mark I found here, but not exactly.


Finally a spoon with a gold washed bowl. It's got "BAILEY & C" on the handle as well as the hallmarks pictured. I have found out that Bailey and Co. was an upscale retailer; perhaps pre-Bailey, Banks and Biddle? I have looked through all of the marks here, but have not found this one - if I missed it I do apologize.







Thank you again for any help!

If the first letter on the first piece is an "M", looks like it might be the Pryor Mfg. Co. of Newark, NJ. The second piece is Frank Whiting, there are often variations in makers trademarks. The third was produced by Bailey & Co. (1848-78), they used that mark starting in 1855 to indicate English standard silver (sterling), until they stopped manufactering their own silver in 1866-7.

Oh boy! I'm sorry - I did read those requirements, but somehow missed that. I do apologize.

Thanks so much for the information. This site has helped me id about 20 pieces of silver so far today! Thanks again!

And I promise not to do multiples again.
