Help Identifying Ladle

Hi, looking for some help identifying the hallmarks on the ladle, I believe its solid silver. Any information much appreciated

 

not sure about the silver content......but the smart members will be along soon..!


where are u
where did u get it...?

 

Silver plate and likely English. It appears that the lowest stamp down in your picture is upside down. EP stands for electro plate.

I tried both US and English lists of makers but did not find a match yet. The number of makers in either country was enormous in the late 1800s and many were not documented and are lost of history.

 

Many thanks, that makes sense. I hadn't picked up on the meaning of EP, I assumed it was a makers mark. It's from my late fathers estate, I don't have any other information about it. Presumably it's of little value.

 

"little value" would be quite likely.
