Q: I have a set of six small spoons that were sent to my father after his mother died. They came from Norway. They are wrapped in silver protecting cloth and in a lined box. The inside of the box has the name of the company where I think they were purchased in 1915. It says "M. Hammers Filial, Torvet 10, Bergen."

A: Marius Hammer (1847-1927) was a jeweler in Bergen, Norway, who made enamel jewelry and other items of silver and enamel. The words "M. Hammers Filial" indicate it was a branch (Filial), so you are probably correct in thinking it was a store. These are probably demitasse spoons. Value, $50 to $100.
