Hi James!

Welcome to Antiquers.........

Under Forums (above) you can choose what seems appropriate to you. The "silver" people will find it!!

 

Greetings, James!

 

Welcome James. I agree - Don't leave things to people who don't want them. Sell them and go on an adventure.

 

Welcome!

 

Hi guys...wow good to chat with you...please assist and direct this to the 'ridgt' people
My wife was given six Silver Spoons purported to be from Syrai and manufactured, we think, 1890/1900? But very vague on detail. Lovely filigree handles and in the back is stamped the No 80. .
Any ideas?
Many thanks
James

 

Also battling to upload piccis? Am advised the files are too large?

 

Easy fix. Email them to your email with size set at medium. The support and Testing Forum on this site has explanations for both iPhone and androids. https://www.antiquers.com/forums/support-testing.21/ I have an iPhone. I email them and open the email on my laptop so I can manipulate them. Download them, fix them if you want and then upload to the site being sure to select full image on the top of all the photos. Any more questions just ask.

 

Hello and welcome.

Sending pics... or trying to LOL

 

Good deal! At full image. Now go and create a thread on the Silver Forum, so the silver folks will see it. I can see the 80 (80% silver - I think) already.

 

Oh dearie me thought I was on the Silver forum. Thanks a million for your help...

 

We have silver spoon people and others there to help, so go ye to the silver forum.

 

@daveydempsey or @Bookahtoo ....could you move these two images from new member @James Boshell to the Silver Forum, please???? Thanks!!!

And WELCOME to ANTIQUERS, James!!!!

 

Welcome to the forum, James. Don't worry, the mods will move this thread to 'Silver'.

 

You guys ROCK... thanks so much ..

 

Definitely 80...

 

The family history could be about right, here is a Lebanese filigree souvenir spoon marked '80' (would have been considered part of 'Ottoman Syria' prior to 1920): https://www.etsy.com/listing/705622...an-80-cedar-tree?show_sold_out_detail=1&frs=1

And another: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Souvenir-S...709694?hash=item2cc4a5037e:g:5a8AAOSwKoRZaMot


Other Lebanese spoons, etc. can also be found stamped '80'...
