Help with the marks on what I assume is an American coin silver spoon.

    This one is a giving me trouble. I was attracted to the strange shape of the bowl (the middle spoon) and now I need to find out more. Looks like WG S*C. I don't believe its a William Gale mark but I could be wrong. Any help appreciated! Screen Shot 2019-09-09 at 9.16.39 PM.png Screen Shot 2019-09-09 at 8.29.42 PM.png

    This looks like English silverplate to me, but I could be off on that.

    We're going to need a better close up view of the marks - and horizontal instead of vertical.

    Could be.It was found in a lot predominantly with American coin silver but there was a lemon fork from Denmark as well. In my experience the English plate marks are typically pictorial and meant to imitate real hallmarks. These do not seem to be imitating anything and aren't pictorial. They remind me more of American marks than anything I have seen but they certainly could be foreign. Hopefully someone can help.

    Doesn't look like any US coin mark I have ever seen.

    British silver plate for sure.
