Hello, I thought I noticed something else unusual about the sovereign case when I looked at earlier. Is not the date letter on the body of the case a "styled" date letter "y" from Birmingham? The date letter "y" for 1898. I know Sampson Mordant used other hallmarking centres, but could this be a bit ...

I recently noted another variation of Barker Brothers Silversmiths Ltd marks. I was intrigued by a standing bird between the "EP" and "NS". I thought I would add the image to this old post. While posting this new image I am also adding one of my previous images lost from the post, to re-illustrate ...

Hello, at an auction a little while ago I took some snaps that I hope can be of interest here. I saw a pair of sugar tongs marked on one arm for Langlands & Robertson but with the guild hallmarks on the other arm. An edited image is below. Langlands & Robertson were at "home" in Newcastle so I am ...

Hello, I have collected a few images of sets of similar manufacturers marks on some flatware. The marks feature "K&D" and "L" together with EP or BP for the manufacture material.

An immediate thought for me, when I see an "L" in a ...

Hello, not a lot of information to go on I am afraid. The AI ElectroPlated Nickel Silver marking looks from 20th century marking as goes with your deco dating. A stab in the dark, but the Sheffield based Fenton Brothers could be the owners of the "FB" mark. They were in business from 1875 to into ...

Hello, I think there is a good chance your dating of the spoon is not correct. In the early 18th century, English silver was marked for a the higher grade of silver called Britannia Standard, and not marked with a standing lion. The spoon is later with gothic styled date letters, in the date range ...

Hello, just stirring up the this old post with a bit of ephemera. The first image is a spoon box with contents. Bengal Silver it proclaims, and "white metal throughout". We see a trademark pictorial of a globe , presumably, on a Bengal tiger's back. No design of Queen Victoria's head on the spoon ...

Hello, you are probably familiar with the company "Aspreys", the long established prestigious London jewellery and silversmithing concern, whose name is marked on the camel. There are plenty of Forum posts for you to reference if not though. There are a set of official hallmarks, also on the camel ...

Hello, have any of the Forum members needed to use the super informative web site silvermakersmarks.co.uk, run by "Phil", one of our co administrators, very recently, to look up a "M" something in the listing of silversmiths with work hallmarked at Newcastle? If so regular "viewers" likely will have ...

Thank you mikemike33 for that excellent follow on photo. It gives a better chance of attributing the marks on your fork. Trev has suggested a prime candidate for the ownership of the marks and Trev's advert even proclaims electroplated fork manufacture. William Coghill is however better know as a ...

Hello, can I throw a different thought in. George Unite, normally I think Birmingham, but he had a silver marked in London 1864-1916 including many various items. Check "silvermakersmarks" web site. The upstrokes do not appear of the same thickness.

Hello, as you say marked "EP" pretty well confirms an electroplated item. Obviously electroplated on which metal/alloy could decide the items weight. The other marks are of interest to me though. Can you possibly get a crisper image of the marks. Not necessarily bigger, but crisper and maybe ...

Hello, these marks on an electroplated item, appear to me to be to " L T Co" in gothic style. They are unknown to me, but the web site "silvercollection.it" shows similar marks associated with a concern called "L Tobert Co". There is a note, suggesting the concern may not have been manufacturers ...

Hello, I am hoping this image of a cutlery mark that I collected a couple of months ago could illustrate this old 2007 post. Since this "Deep Silver" question was posted huge amounts of associated information has been accrued on the Forum involving Holmes & Edwards. A chunk of it can be found at the ...
