I don't do a lot with silverplate, but I couldn't resist this interesting design. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find out what it means; I had expected it to be something masonic related.
The motif is a sundial, with the sun at the end of the handle and a vine curling around the post of the sundial. It has what I presume is an Elkington mark, E & Co. in an oval flanked by two designs, something resembling a pelt on the left and and another almost crablike on the right. It also has the registry number 355733. Any thoughts? IP: Logged |

It could be a spoon commemorating a school or park. Probably an early souvenir spoon. Very nice item. IP: Logged |
