<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 180635, member: 106&quot;]This 8&quot; (23cm) long spoon (sugar sifter spoon?) was in with a bunch of silver plated (mostly) wares.&nbsp; While this does have what resembles a very worn lion passant mark, I am puzzled by both the mark to the left of it and the shape of the shield which surrounds each of the three marks. Are these actual hallmarks or marks with the purpose to deceive?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also stamped on the back of the spoon is &quot;W.C.&amp;SON TROY&quot; ... cannot find a flatware manufacturer with this stamp - but a few auction sites list this as a retailer - without any verifiable references - of coin silver spoons.</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears that the WC&amp;SON stamp is stamped over another mark - I didn&#039;t notice this until I saw the close-up photo ... may just be a double stamp, but I&#039;m not sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]50375[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]50376[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]50377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]50378[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
