Tea and Coffee Spoons.
Why do we keep them?
Because they are beautiful!
I love these little Hanoverian style spoons with their 'turn-up' handles. A bit of 1930's retro!
They are English hallmarked sterling silver.

Around 1900 the family settled in Sheffield.Emile Viener and his brother Adolf changed their name to Viner in November, 1925.

Yes it's there in Purple bloom. Not sure what's been going on though. Hunter and the team are bound to be hard at it. Have you contacted him? I'd decided to let it roll. The emails of fifty you mentioned happened all over I'm sure.
Many thanks slave to the G!
Inky I just went through that a month ago where I couldn't see my profile:)

Thank you vetraio50, not a problem!... just really checking it wasn't my computer!...and thank you BELLIN68.......:-)
Hi miKKo! No, the only noted that the candle collector is in Belgium. The addition of Dutch is the real give-away. These spoons were market purchases. I only have two family pieces, my parents gave it all away to Vinnies when I was young.
Many thanks to slave2G too!
