    Hi Kevin, RAENO is the company who produced the spoon set. The actual registered company name was 'The Raeno Silver Plate Co Ltd'.

    They produced their items in the first half of the 20th Century

    Sometimes you will also see the mark for them printed as 'R.S.P&Co'.

    Sorry I don't know their value. Sometimes you can go to your local library and borrow The Carters Antique Guides. They are very informative on values etc.

    Otherwise the collectors on the Ebay Antiques forum are very helpful on providing ideas on values.
