Old silverplate spoon -- help with marks

Jul 2, 2009 4:02 AM
I have an old teaspoon (I think British) with an etched cannon on the front, and some symbols on the underside that I've never seen before. I'm trying to get info on the symbols. How do I post photos of the spoon??

Thanks!

Do I have to use Photobucket? I usually just edit my own photos and store them.

No, you don't need to use PB but you need some kind of host to get them on here. Tiny pic also works.

PB is free.

I think silver plate -- name of maker (* * & T) -- don't know the other mark. But Springfieldarsenal should see this one -- a spoon with a cannon on it!! :)Wendy

Oops, just noticed (I should read more closely!) that you know it's silver plate. Duh me! :)W

Someone thought maybe ON&T. I'm not so sure on that one, but anything's better than what I'm coming up with.

I really appreciate the input. It's my first time posting, and I'm grateful for the help!!

I wonder if it's worth listing, especially with so little info.

Stephanie, If it is just a plain unadorned silver plated spoon, it might not be worth your trouble?

We have a poster here on this board who is into cannons. So for that aspect, it might be worth it.

Checked my references, but could not find an "ON&T" mark.

Looks like a British electroplate mark.
First two letters remind me of John Nowill's mark, but I can't figure out the "T".

I really appreciate everyone's time on this. I'll try to keep digging, and I might eventually list it for the "cannon lovers" out there!
