[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 548079, member: 4012"] From the streamlined shape, it's probably not as old as recent spoons on PA and as it states honestly what it's made from, I doubt there will be any other marks under the corrosion. Those makers' marks imitating silver hallmarks were just a marketing gimmick to make cheap shiny-plated tableware look like proper solid silverware to the untrained eye. You can see the same ploy still in use today in any pharmacy, with their racks of cheap sunnies that are carefully styled and branded to closely resemble high-priced designer brands. [/QUOTE]
