The markings are what looks like: T&S- WHAT LOOKS LIKE AND ANCHOR BUT COULD BE A FLOWER, A LION AND A CAPITAL E. I would like to get a sort of date on it? Any ideas? Thanks Gavin IP: Logged

I thought it was 1930s, I'm all confused . But I must say what turned out to be a something I picked up to sell has turned into a real interesting journey thanks to your highly entertaining web site. Thank you IP: Logged

I feel I am in some Conan Doyle novel, I can't remember when I had so much fun (sounds quite sad). I am now going to become a silver hunter extraordinaire again, thank you. Yours Gavin IP: Logged
gavin999 Posts: 5 Registered: Dec 2003	posted 12-22-2003 12:44 PM Hello Scott, ha ha I think I got a little over excited with my investigations, and after reading the story about the hotel sugar bowl I do NOT want to encourage the wrath of the SMP crew. The spoon turns out to be made in 1928 (only 240 years out, not bad) I've changed it on ebay, again thank you for your kindness. Regards Gavin Have a great sliver Christmas IP: Logged
