Silver, five shields, ship number 6
This ship has 2 identical dragon heads. The five shields are bidirectional. This ship came with a spoon and a cobalt blue glass liner The liner appears to be pressed glass, and it doesn't have a cut or beveled edge. The liner sits well down inside the ship. This ship may also come with a clear glass liner.

This is the marking on the underside of the ship. Embossed from inside, it shows the outline of a 'scroll', inside of which are the words "STERLING" and "SWEDEN". I could find no other markings on this ship.

This is the front of the spoon that came with this ship. It measures 2 3/8 inches long.

Silver, five shields, ship number 7

This is the marking on the underside of the ship. Stamped into the ship is the word "ALPAKA" (see the Definitions page). Unknown whether the alloy contains any silver, or if the ship is silverplated.

This is the front of the spoon that came with this ship. It measures 2 ¼ inches long.

 |
This is a closeup of the ship and the decorative detailing at the top of the spoon.
|
 |
This is the reverse of the spoon. On the handle, near the bowl, it is marked "830S" and the mark of Brødrene Lohne. Because this marking does not match that on the ship, I do not believe this spoon belongs with this ship, but I do not know for sure which viking ship this spoon is 'supposed' to go with.
This spoon appears to be identical to the spoon shown with ship #4207 in H&J (that ship appears identical to silver 5-shield ship #8, but with a different scene in the bottom, and stamped 830S).

This is the marking stamped into the ship at the rim, near the shields. It says "ALP.". Unknown whether the alloy contains any silver, or if the ship is silverplated.
