Jperkins Posts: 4 Registered: Sep 2002	posted 09-25-2002 12:50 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 books without success. Here are some pictures of the spoon: Thank you, John IP: Logged
Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 09-25-2002 01:31 PM The second mark, which is a hammer and a pair of tongs, is the early mark of David-Andersen. It was used 1888 to c. 1930. Paul IP: Logged
Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 09-25-2002 01:51 PM Hi, Paul is correct, it is an early David-Andersen mark. David-Andersen is probably the largest and most important silver manufacturer in Norway, and they are still in business. Your spoon is typical of their high quality enamel work. Brent IP: Logged
