Hi

I have tried to find the date/maker on 3 silver teaspoons can someone please help.

The marks are left to right:'B&M' (scrolled text)- 'S' (scolled)-leopards head (I think)

-makers mark 'BP'

The spoons appear to be fiddle back?

Thank you
silvershine

That's a British silverplate mark.
The BP refers to the base metal, British Plate (a form of nickel silver).

Possibly Brumby & Middleton, Shefield, England (1889-1897).
