Any assistance appreciated:

On a matching Fork and Spoon, likely a child's set: STERLING SILVER G.M. Co .925 (Triangle/Delta) k. The delta is presumed to be a city mark with the year k. From anecdotal data, I put the year at c1910-1915 which would put the owner in the far east or Scotland; the latter meaningless if they were a gift!

Also, a spoon, marked on the back of the bowl: Crown, Lion, r, and in a shield JD over WD. I take this as Sheffield Sterling 1909, maker a mystery.

Tx, Jim

Shield JD over WD is James Deakin & Sons, mark entered 1878.

Sure, but I'm not sure that I understand the question(?) about the child's set.

Sorry for the lack of clarity; Unknown manufacturer/city: G.M. Co and the delta; presumably from the city (delta?) the k will make sense as a year. Tx again, Jim
