OK, I know it is going to be tough but anyone like to take a shot?
99.9% Rat Tail Spoons (Real or plated Silver?)
The first emblem starting from the bottom of the shaft upward is: D.P
Then the letter C that is clearly built within a Shield shape.
Above that I can not be sure but seems to be a Harp shape with a crown above it.
Last emblem at top is what seems to be a woman in a dress holding something but could be male, not sure at all to be honest.
All the way up the tippy top of handle – back side of spoon where other emblems I mentioned are is a Lion facing left looking away with one claw in the air.
Above this lion is a CROWN, clearly a crown.
Can anybody guide me in any direction what so ever so I can continue my research? I have many others I will post as I move along here as in one with a deer/buck etc but want to take it one at a time.
I wish I knew what the D.P stood for as clearly is the MAKER?
Thanks so much, --HOUSE
BTW: I am Still trying to get “suitable” pictures TONIGHT. HELP!
The marks sound like a bit of a mixture - harp & woman sound like Dublin, lion & crown: Sheffield, C in shield: London. Keep persevering with the pictures as I don’t think we are going to be able to get much further without them.
If you could help me with any information about this spoon, I would be highly grateful. I also have other spoons, knives and forks with different imprints. I am looking to sell them in order to catch up on mortgage and other bills but I need more information on them including their value. Also I was wondering which would be of higher interest or value out of spoons, knives or forks. I would greatly appreciate any information you could give me.
