<p>[QUOTE=&quot;blooey, post: 1344407, member: 12007&quot;]Found these in a shop today and even though I wasn&#039;t familiar with the style of marking, the spoons looked old and made from solid metal, rather than being plated.</p><p><br /></p><p>The marks, as you can see, are &quot;72&quot; and &quot;OH &quot; in small impressed squares. The spoons are also monogrammed with &quot;TT&quot;, although those initials have been polished down quite a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>AFAIK, 72 (.750) was a late 18thc Russian silver standard and judging by the style of the bowl I&#039;d guess that the spoons could be that old. I imagine OH or HO is the maker&#039;s mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas or confirmation/denials welcomed!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]220577[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]220578[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]220579[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]220580[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
