Edinburgh Silver Sponsors Mark???

[94mattda]

Hi, I’m new here and have a spoon I purchased recently but can not locate the sponsors mark anywhere. It’s marked for Edinburgh 2001 but I can’t identify the sponsors mark and wandered if anyone could help please

That's the sponsor's mark. 

I'd be interested in buying it if you'd like to sell.

It’s such an unusual spoon, it has a hammered bowl and stands up on its own due to its design, it would hook on a jar due to its shape as well. I can’t seem to find the sponsors mark anywhere for SC in a oval with indented sides

Great design...you can hang it by the hook, and set it down so the liquid pours out or the other way where it doesn't

I think it's a jam spoon so it doesn't slide into the jar. Could be from these guys below but it doesn't fit the year

Hi thanks, I found them to but again it doesn’t fit the year. Shimacraft is he nearest mark I could find also.

As pointed out the date is not right. The date of the piece is 2001

The only registered maker's mark SC i can find is the Shimacraft mark. The mark is not quite the same as the one on the spoon. If you search under this name the product made is jewellery so again not what we are looking at. Additionally it would seem Shimacraft traded between 1976 and 1982. Accepting that, the company would not have been in business in 2001 when the piece was hallmarked. So i don't think it is from this company.

Thank you, it’s odd isn't it, I can’t find anything other than what you’ve found. I wander if this was a small producer/silversmith

The sponsors mark is for SUSAN ELIZABETH CHAPLIN and she had designs made in London and in Edinburgh after studying silversmithing at university in 2008. Thank you for all your help, now for some more research
