Well Marked SilverPlate Marrow Spoon

[bigcaddy64]

I've been doing lots of cleaning/reorganizing my "to-sell" piles and this little guy resurfaced yesterday.

I picked it up at an estate sale about 2-3months ago, along with a large lot of tobacco pipes (many of which were Dunhills).

I wasn't exactly sure of what the spoon was but when bundled together with the bag of Sterling marked "no Sterling inside" it came out to a dollar so I couldn't pass it up.

The markings are clear and easy to read but I haven't been able to decipher them like I can with sterling. Does anybody here recognize the marks on the back?

I think it's marked EP for electro- plated. Cool find though.

A1 and EP are electroplate marks. A1 means superior quality, an ounce was used per every 12 pieces.

John Gilbert & Son is the maker:
