[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10255370, member: 2844"]Yes, it is the Gebr. Niekerk mark. The cartouche means it is one single mark, not two or three separate ones. The Gebr. Niekerk were known for travelling around the Netherlands to collect old pieces and giving them a new life, for instance adding brooch backs to traditional forehead jewels. This was in the early 20th century, the time that most traditional Dutch costumes ceased to be worn. They saved a lot of beautiful old pieces that way. They also made historic inspired and reproduction pieces. Looks like your spoon is one of those, a testament to Niekerk's sense of history.[/QUOTE]
