Pair of Couiles International Silver 3-arm candelabra
Hi again! I was just thinking about what the best way to clean these candelabra up so I see the name clearer. I have seen the baking soda paste suggestion, the aluminum foil/salt/baking soda in boiling water suggestion and silver polish for higher quality silver. According to the lack of knowing the...

Pair of Couiles International Silver 3-arm candelabra
Hi Tom! You know, I looked and looked at the name over and over myself. At first, I thought it was Coulles. After what seemed like and endless search of that name (which I got no results whatsoever), I took a closer look and saw that it was spelled as Couiles. I don't know if you're able to see the ...

Pair of Couiles International Silver 3-arm candelabra
Hi again, Pat! Alright, so if I understand correctly, the mark was not in the Jeweler's Index (1934), but it was in the A Century of Silver (1947). So if the mark that is on my set of candelabra is in the A Century of Silver book, it must have been made and stamped before that book was published. Wh...

Pair of Couiles International Silver 3-arm candelabra
Thank you so much Pat for giving me that information about the hallmark used by International Silver. I am curious to know why I am not able to locate these hallmarks myself. Do you have the liberty to tell me how you were able to identify the approximate time frame that International Silver used th...

Pair of Couiles International Silver Co. 3-arm candelabras
Hello to all! I had acquired a pair of 3-arm candelabras. I know they are silver, but not too sure if they are sterling. To start, I can't find the name Couiles anywhere, which is the first item involved in the markings. Underneath the name, there is a crown shaped emblem. On the top, this emblem ha...

Candlewick trimmers-no hallmark. Has "Made in England&q
Thanks again, Tom! I appreciate all your input about the shears and the marks. What you said makes alot of sense, so I will leave that possibility alone and just do some more searching about the McKinley Tariff.
Be blessed, Jenny

Candlewick trimmers-no hallmark. Has "Made in England&q
Thank you so much, Tom! I really appreciate all the information on these Grape shears!! I think it is so funny when people don't know the actual purpose of an item and tag it with something that it "could" be. I will look more on the McKinley Tariff Act of 1890/amendment of 1921. Would thi...

Candlewick trimmers-no marks, just "Made in England&
Hi, brand new here. I have a pair of silver candlewick trimmers (not absolutely positive it's not SP). There are no markings that indicate a hallmark or trademark. The only writing on this piece is the "Made in England" that is stamped on the back of one of the trimmers' blades. This has a...
