Hi! I am the great great grandaughter of Melanie Klein and we have recently found some of her old embossed silver cutlery! We are trying to find a little more about it/patch together the history and its really hard! We know that some of it is Art. Krupp Berndorf and assume the rest is probably also Austrian/Hungarian but are struggling to id it as we know nothing about silver! It would be nice to also know a ballpark of how expensive it is so we know what to do with it, but we are more interested in provenance. If anyone could help that would be awesome 
My best guess so far is that the fork has a dianakopf hallmark, and im baffled for the rest.
The piece in the first photo is from Charles Herbert Atkins and Ernest Wigley (A&W), active at 171 Hockley Hill, Birmingham (c.1920). The “EP A1” mark indicates that it’s electroplated, and their best quality (i.e., thickest) plating. Still, that means that there’s a miniscule amount of silver on it, so it has no intrinsic value - its value is solely as a decorative object.
I suspect the other pieces are also electroplate. In the absence of any indication that it’s sterling - a true U.K hallmark, the word “STERLING” in the case of North American silver, or any of the various European sterling hallmarks - one has to assume that it’s not sterling.
A family keepsake, but that’s as far as it goes.
Hi Jeff!
Thanks so much, thats really interesting.
The lower mark on the fork might be a Dianakopf (head of Diana), but it’s very rubbed, so it’s difficult to say. If it is (and the shape of the punch lends credence to that idea), it would be for “coin silver,” in this case, .800 silver (sterling is .925 purity). Not possible to pin it down to anything more specific than 1867-1922.
ETA: I think this is the only one of the group that has measurable silver content, to wit, 80% of its weight. That’s what’s called the “melt value,” i.e., what it’s worth simply as a lump of silver. Compare the weight to the current spot price of silver.
The piece marked “ART KRUPP BERNDORF” is almost certainly silver plate:
