Hi,

The item(s) marked '90' could well be foreign 90% silver. The other items are plated, on the bottom picture you can see 'EP' which stands for Electro Plated.

The "90" number without "%" mean 90g of pure silver used to silverplate a set of 12 forks and 12 spoons.

On some asian silver objects, it is used the mark 90% for silver .900.

Well you learn something new everyday, thanks for that info @stefffana, I've only ever dealt in British silver, so my knowledge of foreign silver is pretty slim.

You're definately the man for foreign silver!

Thank you, @Mobius for your kind words!

I have learned a lot from you as well during the last few years.

Cheers and Super Love!🤗

A picture will be very helpful, if possible with all the details. There are many makers having the same initials: 

Mathew Petit, Maltby Pelletreau, Paul Miller, Michael Plummer, Maylin Products Ltd, etc.

I think they are Danish. I'll upload them in a bit 

Thanks

Yes, they are silver plated danish products. The three towers mark is for silver minimum .826. The two towers and "P" letter is used for silver plated items.
