Found a small spoon in my kitchen drawer that is 4 5/8 inches long with a mark that I have been unable to decipher. Would anyone know who made this or what the 1.70 signifies ? Tks. [This message has been edited by cbc58 (edited 01-30-2017).] IP: Logged |

I am not sure how or whether this ties in with the other mark, but the lower line seems to me to read Ц.1.70. In the command economy of the Soviet Union fixed prices were often impressed on items. If I am right in seeing a Russian Ц, this would stand for Цена (price), thus price 1 rouble 70 kopecks. However, I cannot match the other mark to the Russian alphabet or to what little I know of Soviet silver or base metal marks, so I might be offering you a red herring here. IP: Logged |

Would be nice, and often helpful in most cases to see images of both the item and the marks... Here, can only tell you that it's Soviet era Estonian, it's not silver since it bears no fineness mark, probably white metal or silverplate on white metal base; it was produced at Tallinna Juveelitehas (Tallinn Jewelry Factory), and Agphile has already explained the price mark. ~Cheryl IP: Logged |
