Swedish Crown?

Legg inn av Robert Lightburn » 13 mai 2005 13:07:43

I have just located a serving spoon that I believe may have been my great
grandmother's. It has an "S" on it - the first letter of her surname - with
a five-pointed crown over it. Each point of the crown has what appears to
be a ball attached. Could this be a Swedish crown? If so, any idea what it
might mean? BTW, the spoon appears to have been made in Posen which, I
believe, was in Prussia. TIA for any help.

Maybe "province of Blekinge", which according to a google search has
a provincial coat of arms described as "five pointed crown" on several
web pages. No balls at the points, however.

Yup - east Prussia, now a part of Poland.

Hopefully someone else will have more info for you. Good luck in
finding out more.
