Hi, All!
Please, respond the question: this spoon original or not?
Thank you!

p.s. Police spoon for a scale.
Soory, if placed not in a that section! Please, transfer to the necessary section!

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

Really did a logotype SS, could used yet by somebody?

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.

Thank"s, all!
