Re: Have you seen one of these before?
You would think it would have to be something like this or similar. I would say that whenever I have seen burners that are part of something else, such as a dish cross or spirit kettle, they normally have partial hallmarks relating to the full hallmarks on for example the spirit kettle body, this pi...

Have you seen one of these before?
Hi I am assuming this is either a spirit burner or possibly a table cigarette lighter. It is fully hallmarked to the base for London 1776 with the makers mark of Charles Aldridge & Henry Green with matching partial marks to the removable circular lid. I have never seen this type of item with 5 h...

Re: Unknown mark SA on colonial teaspoon
I posted a topic back in 2019 with the same mark see: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54065
Due to its shape (Celtic Point) I was leaning towards Scottish provincial, but unfortunately I have got no further with identification.

Re: Small silver box from London
Hi
I am thinking the H maybe the surname, possibly George Heath or George Howson, however the other letter is badly worn.

Re: Cast Silver Bowl
Sorry for the late reply Aguest. I have now had the bowl tested as 925 minimum silver, as for it being a Tibetan Singing Bowl, I am afraid I haven't got a clue, but it could be.

Cast Silver Bowl
Hi I have put this topic in this section, as the decorative script on this very heavy (for its size) cast bowl looks to be Farsi, Persian or similar, however I stand to be corrected. There are no makers marks or stamps, the only script being what is forming the decoration itself. Can anybody help me...

Re: Tureen Possibly British but unsure.
Yes, although I have seen British silver with makers marks only, I feel this is probably continental.
Interestingly it is being listed at an auction house as being the mark of Paul de Lamerie, wishful thinking indeed.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Tureen Possibly British but unsure.
Hi
I was wondering if the marks on the base of this tureen are recognisable to anyone. There appears to be a PL stamp twice along with another.
Many Thanks

Re: Early 18th English knife
Also the term Stirling is sometimes found on Irish provincial pieces, would you say the third letter is an I ?

Re: Early 18th English knife
I think it may be Irish, is there any evidence of a maker's mark anywhere?

Seal Top Spoon
Hi
Can anyone help me identify the origins of this seal top spoon, it has the characteristics of an English provincial piece, but I haven't been able to find any reference to the marks.
Many Thanks

Re: Help needed with marks on spectacles
Ok, I have managed to get a better image of the mark (thanks Amena).
Still not sure what it is, a wine glass, pine cone? any thoughts?

Thanks to you all for your help. AG2012, I have had a good look with a loupe, I cant make out what it is but it does not look like a letter.
