I would be grateful if anyone could help me identify this ladle. It has on the back the Copenhagen Assay of 3 Towers and the number 14,

It has the Assayer's initials of C.F. Heise

It also has a FJH - Which I think is F.J. Hingelberg-Aarhus


It has the date 3/12 1915


There is one more mark at bottom - It is a shield or triangle shape with a large T inside the shield and a D on the left of the T and an A on the right of the T.

Any ideas? It is approximately 13 inches long.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it might be the mark for "Dansk Arbejde" (Danish works or workmanship). If so, it's actually a hammer with "D" and "A" to the sides of the handle. Believe it was some kind of government program to promote locally made goods.

The Copenhagen assaymark stands for the year 1914
FJH stands for F.J.Hingelberg, Aarhus 1897 -1937
