Cheers

The Lion shows that it was valued in a britain assay office.
Then check out this site

for british makers by the initials J G
Once you know the assay office (Birmingham)
go to the birmingham Date letter sheet

I hope blackfox will not mind me making a small correction. The date of the Joseph Gloster spoon is 1907.

While I’m responding I might as well give some details of the other spoons in case the original poster comes back:

1 (“pic 3”): electroplate by John Gilbert & Sons of Birmingham

2 (“pic 2”). sterling silver by Joseph Gloster Ltd of Birmingham, date 1907

3 (“pic 1”): electroplate by Elkington Mason & Co of Birmingham

4 (“pic 4”): electroplate by Harrods Ltd of London

thanks silvermakers mark. I am kinda new to this, having only started looking into silverware about a week ago so please forgive my ignorant observations.
I was reading the birmingham date sheet with the incorrect orientation.
