Author	Topic: G.HELLER Silver
TDC Posts: 5 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 11-27-2004 06:11 PM I have just inherited a bunch of family silver and am trying to find out about it. I have 4 spoons with the name "G.HELLER" engraved on the back. No other markings. My grandmother had kindly identified it as her grandmother's wedding silver (wedding 1855). I have not been able to find any info on the maker however. Thanks. IP: Logged
