    Hi All,
    Thanks for looking. I just purchased these salt spoons. Did some preliminary searching. Can you verify makers and dates please. I had no luck on the one that looks like a bird in a shield. Thank you IMG_4479.jpeg IMG_4480.jpeg IMG_4481.jpeg IMG_4482.jpeg IMG_4478.jpeg IMG_4483.jpeg

    I didn't receive them yet. I will post better photos when I get them.
    I think they're pretty old.

    IL is John Lias with a London hallmark and date letter b for 1817/18.

    Potosi Silver is a base metal alloy, possibly electroplated. It dates from the end of the 19th / beginning of 20th century.

    TW is Thomas Wallis II with a London hallmark and date letter p for 1790/91. This mark is of course upside down with relation to the hallmark.
