Some time ago I was given a tatty and broken silver teaspoon with a suggestion to melt it and use the silver. The sterling silver hallmark on the underside of the spoon was the anchor of Birmingham, the lower case 'h' for 1907 and WD for William Devenport. I didn't have the heart to melt it down so it's lived in my scrap pot for several years. Well like a phoenix it's risen from the 'scrap pot'. I soldered it back together, flattened the spoon and turned it into a ring. Great thing is it still has the clear hallmark inside. This has been gratefully accepted by my daughter but still deserves a place in my 'commissions' section..
