<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 4421420, member: 5515&quot;][USER=63]@cxgirl[/USER] awesome observation! I trust that a lot of others pieced that together too. This is a classic example of a listing that you have enough information on to observe, and pass on the purchase. These photos were all available in the original listing, so I didn&#039;t need to inquire further.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, I will give my observations on <u><b>GAME #2</b></u>; this game is going into the &quot;lessons learned&quot; category. I got really excited on this one, and I was wrong on what I thought I saw....(yes, this happens to me). So let&#039;s start with the clue on the back (the wrong clue)...If you zoom in to the photo, you can just make out an HH mark on the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>This led me to search for HH silver marks, and I came across this listing:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.leopardantiques.com/object/stock/detail/251" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.leopardantiques.com/object/stock/detail/251" rel="nofollow">http://www.leopardantiques.com/object/stock/detail/251</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This led me to search for the Hooykaas silver mark, and I found this chart (source 925-1000.com):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]377227[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And this led me to conclude that these were denmark silver spoons, and the seller simply didn&#039;t understand the marks.....well I was wrong, here&#039;s the marks now that I have them in my hands:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]377228[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>All was not lost however, as I got a piece I wasn&#039;t expecting, the little server (pie server?) had a sneaky mark weighing in at 30 grams I think I&#039;ll cover my gambling loss...Hard to read, but it says W&amp;L 835 W.
