Thanks.
Your first picture (of the spoon I presume) shows a silver hallmark although it is not a Britannia lion, it’s a Scottish lion rampant and the hallmark is Glasgow 1863. The maker is probably William Clarke Shaw. Value will depend on size, with a teaspoon around £5-£10 and a table spoon £15-£30. Value is dependent on condition, presence of monograms and crests and pattern.
Your other picture (of the snuffer presumably) shows a trademark rather than a hallmark. This is probably electroplate - or could even just be a white metal. Value would be negligible, maybe a pound or two at a car boot sale.
The SG mark on your silverplated snuffer stands for Silver Guild.
This is a trademark of Kirks Ltd., an American company.
