Featured sterling silver spoons?? Maybe aluminum? Maker's mark help as well please

I have three more spoons from my husband's Uncle's house. I hesitate to give anything unknown away as he was quite eccentric and collected a lot! He also was a hoarder, so many things of value were kept in deplorable conditions, so it makes it very difficult to figure out what in the house has more traditional value and not just what was valuable to him. Thank you as much for the help and understanding on the many posts.

 

Do not toss them!!!!! First one is US "coin silver" (abt .900 fineness. mid 1800's or earlier.

Second made by Albert Wakefield of Great Falls and Dover, NH. Also Coin Silver See this link: https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Silversmiths/SSW1.html

 

Definitely listen to @Bakersgma but if you are going to toss them alert one of us so we can be on standby when you pitch them out.

The shape of the handle is referred to as a "fiddle handle" & quite often indicates the piece is made of coin silver.

Can't wait to see what else you find.

 

Thank you so much for the help. It is quite overwhelming at times. This process has been going on for months. He had over 30 cats in the house and we had to find rescue and homes for all of them before we could really get to work.

 

I approve of anyone who gives cats priority over spoons.

Why did you do that, Tahmoor girl?

 

Thank you. We were determined to save them all.

Thank you. Very helpful information.

 

Because I am fascinated by this hobby of finding antique spoons and I really want to help people research.
Sydney Australia is having what started as a 2 week stay-at-home lockdown that has been extended another week. Last year we had a six month stay-at-home.

Aren't other members supposed to help?

 

I just read the rules and now understand that I can't send links to eby. OK
It's a site that I research with because it gives a good description of the item and tells me the value.

 

Which rule is that,you cannot post one of your listings? There are hundreds of links to Ebay listings here..... https://www.antiquers.com/threads/laughable-eboo-listings.28501/

 

THE RULES:
A - Offers to buy, sell or trade by individuals and/or dealers are not permitted in any way, shape or form in threads and/or posts. If you wish to make such an offer, contact the other party by Private Message or email.

What exactly is it that you think I am doing?
