tmockait Posts: 963 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 05-11-2005 09:57 PM I have tentatively identified this piece as German 800 silver, Bruckmann & Sohne, Heilbron, post 1888. Can anyone confirm or correct this id and help narrow the date? I had trouble getting a clear image of the hallmark, particularly the eagle in a circular crest. The other marks are clearly the crescent moon, crown and number 800. Thanks, Tom IP: Logged

blakstone Posts: 493 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 05-13-2005 02:55 PM Quite easily. Recently I came across an online auction listing that had me in hysterics: "Period Biedermeier Art Deco Teapot" Huh? IP: Logged
tmockait Posts: 963 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 08-17-2005 07:45 PM Did Bruckmann also make plate. I recently saw a set marked "Bruckmann 90 18." No, I am not buying or selling it. Thanks, Tom IP: Logged

See, for other items of the same model and other splendid models, the book by B. Grotkamp-Schepers and R. S�nger, Art Nouveau Knives, Forks and Spoons edited by Arnoldsche in 2000. A must for anyone with an interest in continental modern cutlery; the book shows many different models and makers with their marks! the exact date of fabrication of these spoons (or other art nouveau cutlery for that matter) is difficult to establish: the models were mostly in production for some decades, and as the German marks didn't change, it can be made from 1902 till the '20's! the style of engraved monograms are mostly (not always!) a clue to dating.
