[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 642862, member: 1414"] Maybe a long shot, found this old silver spoon that was covered in crud. Soaked it in vinegar but the identification logos are still not very clear. Anyway, are there any gurus who may be able to help? ** Just did a little googling, the one bit of info found was; [I]"The four standard marks of a hallmark were [B]the standard/purity mark, the assay office symbol, the date letter and the maker's mark[/B]. A fifth duty mark was used between 1784 and 1890."[/I] This spoon has the 5th duty mark. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Silver.jpg"]1375[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Silver2.jpg"]1376[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
