Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 11-07-2004 03:11 PM The top spoon is by Daniel and Arter of Birmingham. The company made a variety of nickel alloy flatware, so the piece may be silverplated or just a white metal designed to resemble silver. The second is probably something similar. The eleaborate marks are probably meaningless, intended to give respectability and, perhaps, to mislead the unwary! IP: Logged
