Hi all...

Can anyone help me identify the hallmark on the back of these possibly silverplate items. The mark is B&A90.

Thanks for any help.

Mill7: Welcome to the forums. Thanks for posting your photos, you're a brave soul, it isn't easy the first time -- no way.

Doobees (esteemed honourable member and French connection) is our most recent expert.

Keep on posting ... we heart photos ... I defer to the experts.

I don't recognize those particular marks but 90 marks in general are usually German plate marks.

I have seen a number of similar pieces of flatware on the market; I agree, they are most likely 20th Century German silverplate. I know they are not solid silver.

Stephen, Thank you for the kind words... I could not find the B&A either, though.
