Hi I wonder if someone can help me with the marks on a set of spoons from a relation in SCOTLAND.
The spoon only has the following marks on the underside of the bowl - E P N S there are no other marks on the spoon.

Many thanks

Thanks for joining us here. EPNS is an acronym for "Electro Plated Nickel Silver" and denotes a silver plated item of little or no value.

Regards,

Uncle Vic
