Can you make out the mark on sterling spoon?

Do you recognize the maker or can you read the maker's mark It says 925 before and sterling after

I think I see K Q R ??

Thank you very much for any help

Wow That's what it is supposed to look like? I would have never guessed ty!!

 

Is that a spoon, or a ladle? I can't tell what size it is, but just wondered.

 

Sorry, I thought I mentioned salt cellar spoon. Tiny!

 

That poor puppy needs a good cleaning

 

I always leave it as is You never know who wants the age/patina or not The struggle is real lmao I hate to see it like it is

 

Tarnish is NOT patina and in fact will do harm to the silver if not cleaned off.

 

Dang ! So it is ok to polish the silver? I thought some people get upset?

My parents have sold vintage/antique jewelry and I used to help I brought my husband along and he can't stand to see the tarnish They walked away from the booth and he started polishing She about had a heart attack and yelled at him to stop
He only got a few NA rings done at any rate She glared at him the rest of the day but not 10 minutes after he was asked to stop one of the rings that he put back in the case, that had been selling for years, was snapped right up! I just snickered the rest of the day at her

I thought it was taboo all along

Thank you

 

It is for coins.....
but while some folks do like some items with that mat silver look.....most others will agree it started off life with a gleam.....and was likely polished during it's lifetime...... so "polish Away".....happily !

( go see Mr. N8 's threads on silver....& wear sunglasses....!!! )

 

My husband loves to polish. I’ll have to hire him!!
