Hey guys I found these in that bin I bought for $20 theres two of them... Looked up the brand and can't find anything other than the fact its a super old Scandinavian maker... not marked with anything other than C. Sollie, they really do look like they could be more than silver plated? No idea, here's what I could find, Silver Forums at 925-1000.com probably will have them tested tomorrow,

They look coin silver too me but might be a bit thick for that. Testing is the way to know for sure

I see that there is a 13 at the end of the makers name. There is the "Lothige" system of determining the silver purity which is like 24, 18, 14, 10k is for gold. So it's possible your spoons are 13/16 which would be 81.25 percent silver.

its marked 13 1/3 (the 1/3 is really faded). so it's very close to what was mentioned on the loth markings. it comes to .833 silver. that purity is likely from Scandinavian area. as to finding information on the maker, you're not likely to find a lot. most countries didn't keep very detailed records of makers hallmarks.

Yup, thanks for the help!! They are 82.8% silver exactly, weight 47 grams and there is two of them! Any value here over melt? they are actually very thin but surprisingly in really good shape, should be quite old.
