Interesting silver spoon marks

[diggingthe1]

I went through a box of old silverware. I pulled out of couple of interesting pieces. I would sure like to know some more about these marks! Thanks in advance for any help! Here is one more that is a pretty heavy large fork!

Nice pieces. i'm guessing that you know the last word in the last picture is STERLING.

Thanks for the post Steve, I did notice. The other is also, but not marked. When I have some time I will study up on that website that lists all the marks.

don't know anything about the silverware, but I see the red book is an Artillery manual of some sort from Fort Sill, Oklahoma which is in my neck of the woods, about 30 miles west of me. Was storming yesterday but is nice today so I'm hoping to get my motorcycle out for a ride and will most likely pass right by there

Good eye! I have 2 of those manuals from there! Glad you will be out riding, I need to redo my carburetor!

Old thread, but @diggingthe1 is still around.

The lighting and contrast isn't good enough on the picture of the spoon to give me a start on the maker or whether it's American, English, or what metal it's made from. The 4th cartouche looks like it might have the initials 'BH' but that's not really enough to go on.

The serving fork has a Gorham mark. It's their 1895 'Chantilly' pattern, designed by William C. Codman. Good hefty chunk of sterling there.

Thank you very much!! When I dig out that spoon I will try to get better pictures. I am glad to learn the other piece is Gorham!!! Thank you for responding!!!!
