Hi folks,

This is on the stem of a small mustard/condiment spoon.
Originally I thought it a silver hallmark but am having trouble finding it.

Any ideas guys?

Hi,
If those are the only marks, then it isn't UK hallmarked silver nor Sterling silver. And as you're from the UK I would hazard a guess that it is silver plate. I've had a quick look at Silver Plate hallmarks/makers' marks, have come across similar, but nothing identical. I may have missed it, though.

Thank you so much for your help.

I believe your marks are W EP Co. The EP should signify "electro plated" (not sterling).

Doesn't bear the traditional English markings.

Cannot locate this particular mark. Could be one of hundreds. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

DOH! Never saw the "EP"

Thank you.
