Re: What are these?

Hi,

Thanks for your thoughts, I discounted Cribbage as I have only played using 2 pegs and both players would have different colours, red and white for example.

Bridge? I can find nothing out about that being played using scoring pegs?

Regards,
Colin

What are these?

Hi all,

Does anyone know what these are?

I have several packs of 3's of them.

They measure 39mm in length and each one weighs 4g, carrying full English hallmarks.

Thanks in advance.

Purpose of this item?

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone can say exactly what this is for?

It would appear to be a mount for something but what? there is no small lip on the base to house a glass liner etc.

Very much hunting themed with super detailing.

Hallmarked from London in 1885, the sponsors mark is Frederick ...

Help to Identify Tongs

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can give the definite name for these and their purpose.

Small compared to sugar nips, 82mm long.

By Hamilton & Inches and hallmarked from Edinburgh in 1898

Re: Help with an 18th Century Dutch Marrow Scoop

Thanks for your information.

A bit lost on the RH under a fish, the example you showed does not have that nor does this marrow scoop. A bit lost on that part?

Help with an 18th Century Dutch Marrow Scoop

I wonder if anyone can identify these marks on a marrow scoop.

Crown with letter V, RH, Crown over Lion Rampant, XXX, I, and a tiny mark featuring a swan.

RH, we think is Roelof Helweg Keur

Crown over lion rampant we know means a minimum silver content of .934

Any help would be appreciated and ...
