Message:: [QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9795242, member: 10944"]Glad it’s one to be worthy of envy! I was speculating that it could be earlier than 18th but I was also well aware of the reproductions on some of these types of spoons you mentioned. I also didn’t want to get ahead of myself! I think a lot of the repros were even made in the 19th century which makes them trickier to pick out for the novice which I am just a bit above. Actually a couple such spoons (with dates and all) came in this lot and I’m unsure of them. They have some very specific inscriptions so that combined with the overall quality of the collection leads me to believe they are probably real. I have a handful of others though that I’m much less sure of. I figured the IG was the owners and the scratched mark below it either the next owners or like you said house mark or similar. Your knowledge is very helpful on this one. It’s a first for me. I had never even heard the kuleskje terminology. I wouldn’t know the next research step to take without a push in the right direction. Should it become a nuisance and clutter I’ll know where to send it![/QUOTE]
