Jperkins Posts: 4 Registered: Sep 2002	posted 09-06-2002 03:54 PM I have a wonderful enamel spoon with a hallmark I can't decipher. I would love to know who made it and when. I have attempted to look through several hallmark books without avail. Here are some pictures of the spoon: Thank you, John IP: Logged
tom unregistered	posted 05-27-2003 11:56 PM The spoon sure looks Norwegian, and the mark appears to be that of Aksel Holmsen of Norway. The 925 standard would make it likely to be post 1925 at the earliest. IP: Logged

tom unregistered	posted 06-03-2003 03:34 PM Yep, sorry, it is indeed the David-Anderson hammer & tongs. I tend to get it confused with the Holmsen mark which is similar, but composed of pliers and calipers. IP: Logged
