Thanks in advance for any suggestions /help! 20151103_145811.jpg 20151103_213021-1.jpg 20151103_213021-1-1.jpg

I don't recognize these as silver marks. They look like 1900's table ware probably EPNS. Electroplated Nickel silver.

agree with jimdon,dont look like silver marks,but makers marks.they appear to be creamers.style was simple and may have been inn or resturant use.likely late 1800s to early 1900s.

these are simple guesses,have one tested.

I made the trademark larger. It looks like a swan and a man leaning over something and a chair at the end

It looks like it's made of maybe independent symbols. May treasure codes. Who knows?

Hebrew?

All 3 cups have a spout. Maybe they are creamers but why would you need 3 creamers?

Perhaps they have some specific use - like for a religious ceremony? :dontknow:
