Re: Small Ladle - Dublin - maker MK, date letter rubbed

Cheers Trev
Appreciated.
I wonder if, given the MK is clear but the crowned harp and probably the Hibernia mark are rubbed, whether these are further examples of Keating
forgeries and in fact he was a serial forger.

Small Ladle - Dublin - maker MK, date letter rubbed

Hi Guys I wonder if anyone would hazard a guess at the date of this small ladle which I presume carries a Dublin hallmark. The Maker is MK but the other two marks are fairly rubbed. I am wondering if possibly the date letter could be 1694 but I could be way off. Any guesstimates gratefully received....

Pastry tongs - possibly German

Hi Guys I wonder if anyone can enlighten me regarding what I believe to be Pastry Tongs. 800 fineness with a Crown hallmark. I thought that they were German but there doesn't appear to be a moon. Any help appreciated. 62g - appear cast. I can't find any other mark. 16cm Gary https://i.postimg.cc/5tw...

Swedish spoons 1888 - unsure of town and fineness

Hi Guys I wonder if anyone can help with these two Swedish spoons? What are they used for? I believe the date is 1888 - K6. They are the same year, exactly the same pattern, but one is made by GAB and the other CW. There is a mark before the date mark that appears to be a man with a hat - side view....

Dating a pair of shoe buckles

Hi guys; I wonder if anyone can help. I have a nice pair of shoe buckles which only Lion Passant and makers initials. There are no duty marks so I'm guessing possibly pre 1784. Wondered if anyone could help. Appreciated as always. Gary https://i.postimg.cc/dtChJZ6N/SAM-0914.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/...

Possible shoe buckle, lion passant + maker

Hi Guys Don't know if anyone can help. Found this item today. I'm just possibly guessing that this is a Georgian Shoe Buckle but to be honest I'm not 100% sure. No town or date mark but maker and lion passant. I'm wondering if anyone can identify it and give a rough age from lion passant and maker. ...

Jug and Saucer - help with identifying

Hi Guys I don't know if anyone can identify this item I picked up today? I wasn't sure if Silver or Silver plate. Very heavy at 395g. Some gold coloured etching around inside of rim. A jeweller colleague thought it may be plate but no matter how deep I scratch it, it turns the silver acid blood red....

Re: Hallmarks on ? German Sifter Spoon

Hi, Aguest
I took a closer picture of the rubbed mark. I took it upside down as the little hook on the 1 appeared to be on the bottom of the 1 when it was the same way up as the rest. It was the best picture I could get.
Cheers
