[log in to unmask]" type="cite">Hello List,I am utterly confused. I've look high and low for an idea of what the hallmarks are that I am looking at and am finding nothing. On the back of several spoons there is a dragon/serpant emerging from a crown. On a few of those there is stamped "L.Wineburgh" with another mark of a sitting lion with a ball underfoot with a "W" in the ball. On a few others, "USA Sterling" is stamped. with no other markings besides the dragon and crown.If anyone has any thoughts, or knows any good sources to check, please let me know.Regards,John Hart========================================================= Important Subscriber Information:John Hart Assistant Curator of Collections The New York State Historical Association and The Farmers' Museum PO Box 800 Cooperstown, NY 13326 607.547.1447 [log in to unmask]The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
