<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 544820, member: 2844&quot;]Franeker is the name of a town in Friesland. The examples found were by makers from Franeker. Frisian silver is very collectible.</p><p>Some Dutch town names are also used as surnames, but Franeker isn&#039;t one of them. Frisian surnames often end in -a, usually -ma or -stra. For instance Tamsma or Dijkstra.</p><p>I don&#039;t know much about Dutch silverplate, so couldn&#039;t comment on the other marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Franeker:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.franeker.frl%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F01%2FSTADHUIS_FRANEKER-HEADER-1600x985-1600x840.jpg&amp;sp=502ded50764b77116760476cc5580f9e" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
