Re: Warch case naker

Nope, no other marks other than what's shown & the identical marks are on the inside of the back & the dust cover so I don't believe anything is worn off. I'd believe that the toadstool looking mark (& perhaps the I) below the case number is/are the maker mark but I admit the marks are a...

Re: Found this at an estate auction

The date symbol was also used in 1996 & although possible, just seems more likely (to me at least) that you'd find the logo on Egyptian silver when American oil companies had a presence in in the Middle East.

Re: Found this at an estate auction

Read that article, David, & hence the question about the date mark. Here's the reference for the 1946-1947 date: http://www.mfti.gov.eg/affiliates/National_Productivity/AssayWeights/A03.htm The AMOCO name, was used by Standard Oil before the 1971 logo in parts of the US & abroad. Don't know ...

Found this at an estate auction

Three Egyptian .900 silver pieces in a presentation box. They're miniature replicas (non-working) about 2 1/2" tall & all three pieces have the AMOCO logo. Date looks like 1947-1946 & I can't make out the assay office, perhaps Beni Suef? Did I read the marks correctly? No provenance but...

H. J. Wilm Berlin

My latest (as yet unpolished - sigh) acquisition is a H. J. Wilm .800 silver coffee/tea service & I'm trying to get an idea of when it was made. My guess is around the turn of the (20th) century but the only Wilm mark I could find is the Ferdinand Richard Wilm. No idea what the mark to the left ...

Looks to be identical now that I have an example to compare it to.

Opinions Please (hopefully the right forum)

I have a ladle that's tested as at least coin but the marks are so tiny, they're really difficult to make out & my camera fails a bit. I'm pretty sure the initials are T C & the other mark could be a lion passant. The only possibility I've been able to come up with is Theodor Cohn, London, a...

Identify maker mark

I have a sterling fish knife that I assume is US & the maker is poorly stamped/worn. I can't see a mark I can visualize as being correct. Help please. Thank you. http://www.globalarray.net/user/kandlsales/mark/2010-01-01sterling003.JPG http://www.globalarray.net/user/kandlsales/mark/2010-01-01st...

Hi Warren: Nope, no idea who the smith was & I checked even to the point of contacting three or four "experts" No one had a clue but I had one tell me that it was bench made in about an hour & could be picked at any trading post in Gallup. He got a little huffy when I asked if he m...

German Sugar Basket Maker?

The basket is poorly marked - partial or worn maker. I've been over the German marks & nothing jumps out at me with the possible exception of the last mark on the (of course :-) unidentified page. Thanks. http://www.globalarray.net/user/kandlsales/basket/basket003.JPG http://www.globalarray.net/...

Sterling Concho Link Belt

Picked this up at an estate auction. The only mark is the arrow & it tests as sterling. The overlay work is unique to each concha & I think whoever did the work was a very good smith. Any information or opinion welcome http://www.globalarray.net/user/kandlsales/concho/concho001.JPG http://ww...

Sugar & Creamer

I'm going for an extreme longshot & trying to find out maker, pattern & age. Sugar & creamer look to be hand crafted & the "K" is scratched rather than stamped. Thanks http://www.globalarray.net/user/kandlsales/s&c/u1.JPG http://www.globalarray.net/user/kandlsales/s&...
