Sorry,this is a piece of cutlery from the German Shipping Line "Hapag Lloyd Commonly thought of as SSLAH The marks are if memory serves me well?British Seiler
The SS actually borrowed it from them. Hamburg America Line. The later LAH logo with the more angled loops is what you would want to find. I am sure some pieces of actual LAH cutlery exist, but they would not be on British Made silverware from 1914.
Arturio, Whatever the "Sale" result, the spoon is NOT original LSSAH. This was the logo of the German Shipping Company ("Line")Hapag Lloyd sailing out of Hamburg to New York,long before the SS came into being.Do a search around the various Forums.You will see how this subject comes about very often. Elkington is the Silversmith Maker mark and dated 1914.and is British. Many of the "Hapag Lloyd" ships were built in UK and it is possible that that is the reason the cutlery was bought from UK silver Co.AS part of a contract for a full fitted vessel?Who knows? DEFINITELY NOT SSLAH. Seiler.
Arturio, We see this here quite often. "Urban Myth" is created about some objects and they take on a life of their own. Just in recent weeks we have not only had this silverwatre exposed, but we also were able to clarify the so called " typewriters".
Invariably, people with more money than brains buy these itemns only to discover years later they are not what the are suppose to be.
That is one of the real beauties of this web site.
