[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 3646634, member: 111"]They are the newest pieces in the group (first pic, middle row, bottom two), marked 'SILVER OBLO', a Melbourne based concern since 1982, there is a chance they came from their branch in Cape Town, SA, but having seen proper South African marks on OBLO pieces, suspect these are more likely Australian made - they're quite nice, heavy and well-finished. I have three nice Western Australian spoons, a swan salt spoon and a gumnut ladle by Jamie Linton, a Harris & Sons flower sugar spoon - and also a rather lovely 1909 English-made enamel Perth souvenir spoon... Crummy old pic of the Jamie Linton swan: [IMG]http://www.smpub.com/ubb/images/07/17-0282-saltspoonswanausa.jpg[/IMG] And this pretty thing: [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/swanspoon1909perth-1-jpg.214681/[/IMG] ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
