    Would love some help identifying a set of demitasse/baby spoons that I have been helping sort for my parents. I have been unable to find anything yet. Most likely, they are silver plated, but I'd like to have a little more detail since they have been in our family for a while. Images show spoon and stamp on back.

    Thank You! IMG-8957.jpg IMG-8951.jpg IMG-8953.jpg

    Welcome. For future reference, you will have better response if you post your items in the appropriate forum rather than in 'Introductions'...

    Your demitasse spoons are silverplate, made by Solingen, Germany firm E. & R. Kierdorf, the pattern is 'Rococo' (Rokoko).

    Yes, I see that now. Thanks for the heads up. I'm new to this.
    Thanks also for the information on the spoons. I still can't find anything online for them. I'm loving digging for info on family memorabilia.
    Do you think the "100" stamped on the back refers to the amount of silver plating. One article I read referred to the stamps sometimes showing it to be a silver content ratio out of 1000.

    It's no problem, an admin may even move it to 'Silver'. you did fine, even in posting your pics.

    It's actually a fairly common pattern, just not in the US (there's likely quite a bit here, they just don't know the maker) - the company was formed in 1927, but I'd suspect these were someone's post WWII purchase in Germany, was someone stationed there at some point?

    Don't believe any article that claims '100' indicates 100/1000 fineness silver, it refers to the plating: https://www.925-1000.com/a_platenumbers.html

    Here's a set with tongs on eBay Germany: https://www.ebay.de/itm/6-Kaffeeloe...100er-Silber-versilbert-14-5-cm-/191843976798
