This is a nice heavy 11.5 inches long ladle that I'm looking for help with identifying.

My hope is that the style and design as well as the remnants of the marks will mean something to somebody.

Pattern and monogram look Eastern European. I would hazard a guess of Latvian.

I agree, the Baltic states were my first thought as well, and like Paul based on pattern style, monogram style, and marks. And I'd say probably c.1910-30s. Unfortunately I don't have good references for that period/area....

Thank you both. I'll look in my Jan Divis book for marks in that part of the world.
