    I have a few pieces of silver that are old and stamped. Do you see anything valuable? Thanks for your help.

    Looks like routine early 20th C stuff, the 2 plain spoons could be older but I can't read any of the marks at that size.

    They all look like silverplated US patterns, of which I have way too many! But I can probably ID the vast majority of the patterns pretty quickly, in case you want to know them for listings.

    The spoons that say "1800" have a symbol or logo next to them.

    Pic 1, from the top
    1. Royal pattern (1890) That's a pie wedge.

    2 and 4 - Norfolk pattern, (1905) A dinner fork and a "casserole spoon.

    3 May be Oneida's Narcissus pattern from 1908

    Who is the maker of the Bunker Hill souvenir spoon?

    Those 2 with the 1800 on the back are not known to me. I don't know of any US maker who used that number (or date) in it's trademarks and cannot see the "symbol" you mentioned.

    It's very possible they came from Italy or France. Even possibly Egypt. That is where the owner lived in her lifetime. Who do you think would know about silver from other countries ?

    I can't find any markings on the Bunker Hill spoon.

    Well, I do actually. Not pattern names, but silver marks for sure. Having just that large 1800 and a tiny (something) that isn't at all clear in your pictures does not look Italian, French or Egyptian in my experience.

    You're going to have to figure out a way to get a much better picture of that tiny mark. No loupe? Magnifying glass?

    With no marks at all on the Bunker Hill (and what looks like corrosion in the bowl) it isn't going to be worth much, if anything.

    The Rolex spoon would be plated at best (and maybe not even that.) A giveaway, perhaps.

    Your "miscellaneous" backs are from very low-end makers of plated wares - all US from what I can see. And as you can see on the salad set - plated in England. late 20th Century.

    Sorry, those new pictures still don't tell me anything.

    Can I ask - are you using an actual camera or a phone?

    Just my phone right now. I looked at it in a loop with a light on it. It's still hard to make out. I thought for a second it might be Arabic???? i will try to find a better way to take a photo. I appreciate your help sooooo much!
