Long Description
Had been cleaning out house, and came across these items. Looking to see if anyone has any knowledge on the makes/items, and if they might be worth something more than just having them melted per say. If they're valuable or worth anyhting, will be willing to sell them as well.

They are in the style of 19th century spoons, but I'd need to see the marks to determine a value. In the American market the American spoons sell for more than the British hallmarked variety.
Re: 18/19th century American / British silversmith set of ...
One is the pitkin marking, (will add pictures soon as I can)
WM rogers with a shield on one side and an eagle on the other, which I am told is marked WM. ROGERS (Hartford, CT, ca 1822-1843)
Another looks like EB, or BB?
Another has 4 symbols in a colum. Believe one is a lion, one is a profile of a femal figure, and a shield I remember correctly.

Sorry IÂ don't have pictures, they are not with me at the moment.

I'll keep an eye out for your images, the last one with four hallmarks sounds English.
