Help with Marks on Large Scalloped Spoon

    Hello all, Newbie here !
    I've checked 4 books at my library and 2 of the websites kindly placed by Mr. Dempsey
    and I cannot figure out these 4 marks. I sometimes see one that looks similar but not sure.
    The *A* mark I cannot find anywhere.
    I don't even know if it's silver or silver plated
    Any info would be much appreciated. Thank you !

    Each is a letter E P N S as stated above, they stand for electroplated nickel silver. I don't think they can tell you anything about age or maker.

    Oh Thank you Marie, I think I understand now.
    The 4 Marks are E P N S which stand for Electroplated nickel silver.
    So they are not maker or date marks as I had assumed.
    But I will do some more research as the type of marks are quite interesting and MIGHT lead me to something.
    I have no life
