Engraving on back of the spoon suggests it is 1849 or older. Any ideas? Thanks for your time and interest. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was wondering how I missed this one, then I noticed the date - back during the early post-Katrina days! Anyway, the city mark is a "nesselblatt": heraldic device depicting a stylized nettle bloom, but looking like a serrated triangle. Several German cities used this mark, but here it is for the Schleswig-Holstein city of Kiel. I know this because "IENSEN" is the mark of Kiel silversmith Matthias Petersen Jensen (1801-1868), master 1835. Your dating sound right on target. Hope this helps! IP: Logged |
