    Found this and some other spoons at a garale sale . I know EP means that it's not sterling silver but plated . Any other info would be appreciated such as approximate age and maker . I believe GB & S is George Bowen (?) and Sons , a British company . Are there any plated spoons that have value ?

    Thanks
    Bill

    P.S. - It's been awhile ! Hope everyone is good !

      Very interesting engraving & shape. Welcome back, whoever you are. Sorry, I'm bushed & slap-happy tonite but happy holidays.

      No value for the silver, but perhaps a collecting value if you particularly like the piece. I think it is quite nice myself.

      No prob! We'll see if someone can confirm, with a little more exp. than me. But I think it is right. Have a great night!

      I think it's a jam spoon /condiment spoon
      Lovely pattern :-)
