Author	Topic: Almost impossible to identify marks
bascall Posts: 1629 Registered: Nov 99	posted 06-14-2007 05:29 PM This is a nice heavy 11.5 inches long ladle that I'm looking for help with identifying. My hope is that the style and design as well as the remnants of the marks will mean something to somebody. IP: Logged

FWG Posts: 845 Registered: Aug 2005	posted 06-15-2007 04:43 PM I agree, the Baltic states were my first thought as well, and like Paul based on pattern style, monogram style, and marks. And I'd say probably c.1910-30s. Unfortunately I don't have good references for that period/area.... IP: Logged
