No there's no marking of any kind. I saw the hertwigs but they all have names accross the chest it seems. is it possible the name wore off?

So assuming they are truly from 1836. I can say they are silver. So are they worth anything just because of there age? I cant find any others forsale. And because i cant find others im not sure if this makes them rare or simply not important?

After reading the forum hosman posted I now have a good idea to who made the spoons. So are these at all collectable? Or worth anything? i  still dont know if they are silver or just plated. thank!

I can believe they were american made. might even be relevant to say they were Ohio made. I bought these in Ohio where I live and they had been passed down from a family who had lived all their years in ohio. Thanks so much.
