Old Spoons?

Hi just found these at my mothers, could any one give me any information on these thanks

 

Trying to put photos up

 

Welcome Ashley!
Hi! Not sure what you are doing wrong so let's go with this>>>
~
Make your photos 480x640 or vice-versa.
~
Write your comment and try this little trick I use to keep sentences unbroken and the photos listed after the comment>>>> Hit enter after your last sentence to open a new sentence line. To keep a space between your comments and the photos put a ~ then hit enter and do the following.
>Hit the (Upload a File) button.
Choose 1 photo.
Load it on your comment.
Use the Enlarge option. (We usually don't want to have to enlarge each one ourselves to see them though if you have many photos you may want to leave the less important ones small.)
Repeat this process for each photo you load.
Have fun!

Not sure if this is better

 

Many members won't click on a link so you should try to post directly on the board to get the most responses.

 

???
Have you tried what I suggested?

 

Okay not yet I'm currently away on my phone and it says the picture is too big so I thought Flickr until I get home

 

Okay. This should work for you.

 

Hola, and welcome, Ashley!

 

Hi Ashley! Once you get home, it's pretty easy to get your pics up on this site!! And WELCOME!!!!! You should have a lot of fun and learning here!!!

 

The spoons appear to be 1930s British silver plate.

 

I agree with af on British and plated. Not sure of date, but it probably doesn't matter much.

 

I've taken the liberty of editing all your pics: cropping, contrast, enlarging because it is nearly impossible to even begin to ID makers as they were. Yes, they are all plated. From the left the first 3 spoons are electroplated - they are marked with (EP). The 4th spoon is Britannia plate - marked with (BP). The marks on the far left item is impossible to make-out. I guess its a pencil? I haven't had time to research the makers. Maybe someone can help on the makers; however, because they are plated, the ID the maker will probably make no difference in value.

BTW, the A in a circle denotes the quality of silverplate used.

"The best quality was 'A1' or 'AI', lower level was 'A', next level was 'B', followed by level 'C', and the lowest level was 'D'.
"A = Standard Quality = 24 grams on 12 pieces = 2 grams per table spoon or table fork."

1. Spoon is by William Gallimore of Sheffield:

There is a free app called Photo Resizer HD, it crops, resizes, flips and rotates - very simple, with unobtrusive advertising. Snapseed, which is the editing app I use, for some reason has no resizing function...

Wow you guys are great!! Thanks the "pencil" looks more like a bullet tbh I will grab a better picture. We have some more hidden somewhere what do you reckon they will value at?

 

The spoons, zilch. Sorry.

 

Excellent work once again, Susan!
