Featured Antique silver spoons.

Hello everyone.I have some silver spoons ,seems to me interesting very old early 1800-1860y.. Made in Germany silver serving spoons marks 12 loth and zigzag,Bear - city of Berlin..some other marks...?Thank you.

 

The one with Zimmerman has the Konigsberg city mark, https://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_b1884_4.html

 

Prussia, I didn't know about it. Thank you very much.

 

"Bakersngma'' l like to ask you, Bear mark can be pre. 1800...Thank you.

 

Is this marks can be pre.1800 y...?

 

The city marks shown on the linked page can be found on silver of the 18th century - that's the 1700s - according to the site.

 

Königsberg is the old German name of Kaliningrad, a name which is probably more familiar to you.

 

Ok, I see .Thank you.

 

Yes ,I'm Russian guy.

 

I thought as much, the name Iouri is a bit of a give-away.

 

My life is a gift to me and my name is inclusive. Smile guys and life gonna smile to you.

 

Bit confused on which marks belong to which spoons, but here's as much as I have on the marks:

As already said, Koenigsberg, maker Carl H.L. Zimmerman (b.1793, d.1860) - the 'T.' should be a date letter, but I don't know the year (would be no earlier than 1822, when he became a master).




Berlin, maker Heinrich Friedrich Weiland (b.1786), the 'K' with the bear indicates assayer from 1819-54, the 'B' is the secondary assayer from 1842-47, so the dating would be from 1842-47.




Winsen (the mark is a lion), maker Georg Heinrich Lindhorst, shop founded in 1827.

Hello.The spoon that is marked Koenigsberg, maker Carl H.L. Zimmerman (b.1793, d.1860) - the 'T.' as you said ''Cheryl''.That spoon has engraved 1807y...It could be?Others has engraved 1843y.Thank you again.

 

The date and initials look like they were chased and not engraved.

 

Yes .you are right about this.

 

Carl H.L. Zimmermann would have only been 14 in 1807, if working, would have been an apprentice, he became a master in 1822 - the 'T.' is the date mark for 1836 (located my date chart). Would guess that the '1807' was done to match the earlier 1807 spoon on your other thread (the dotting is typically referred to as prick/pricked engraving or prick-work).
