[QUOTE="M3talmiliti4, post: 298873, member: 6438"] Thanks eldorado, yeah its a tough one I've been looking on the link silver put up and on other websites but can't find anything to define it. From what I've read their were no standards for hallmarks on silver plated as their was for sterling silver, it wasn't until 1896 that they put a ban on makers using a crown mark on non silver items to help confusion when purchasing so its at least earlier then 1896, i would find it hard to believe that it would be from 1788 just due to the age of the area not saying its not coz it could well be and that would be pretty cool but i would say it is more likely late 1800's The first mark looks like a "W" the second looks like a "h" the 3rd resambles the crown and the 4th is an 8 pointed star which i can find nothing on. Its a mystery spoon :P all we do know is that its old. Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
