    I bought 2 large lots of sterling flatware a few weeks back & have finally got the few pieces I can't ID photographed. I would very much appreciate some assistance from the silver gurus. :happy::happy::happy:

    #1 - Souvenir spoon for Normal School in Terre Haute, Indiana (later became Indiana State University) with grape clusters on the handle.

    #2 - Small ladle with scroll design on edge of handle & ruffled edge on bowl. If someone recognizes the pattern that would also be wonderful. :happy::happy:

    #3 - A fork with a Laurel design on the handle & pierced design above the tines. What type of fork would this be - olive, pickle, lemon? :confused::confused: A pattern name for this piece also would be great. :happy::happy: I thought this mark looked like Pegasus, but could not find any type of horse mark for sterling. :confused::confused:

    #4 - A souvenir spoon for Ontario, Canada. The mark looks like a Beaver & left facing Lion with possibly an R or a K in between. :confused::confused: I also cannot for the life of me figure out what the blob is on the front of the handle. :confused::confused:

    Sort of looks like a hippocamp (sea horse) but that brilliant observation got me nowhere in searching.

    #4 might be a Roden Bros mark - it looks like the letter 'R' in between the beaver and lion

    SIS, I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I agree!

    I am not sure on this one. The crown on the 925 site is much different than the one on the ladle. I looked around on Replacements & they look to do much different work. :confused::confused::confused:

    I could not find one of their marks that has a beaver in it, so I am not sure about this one either.

    The crown mark on the ladle is much different from the one shown Baltimore sterling.

    Hmmm. I agree that it doesn't really look like the example. Plus, I tried to find that design and ran into a brick wall. Unfortunately, I haven't found a reasonable alternative.
