Re: Tongs Identification

Apparently it was an acid test. Electroplate is looking very likely.

Re: Tongs Identification

Thanks, Qrt.S and Trev. Electroplate was my immediate thought when seeing the marks for the first time. I will try to get an update on the testing method.

Tongs Identification

A correspondent has asked if I can help identify the markings on a pair of tongs. I have started them in the European Silver section as my correspondent assures me that they have been tested as being solid silver.

Re: Silver plate identification help.

That's an Elkington mark (EM&Co is Elkington, Mason & Co) with their private date code (6 in a lozenge, or perhaps a lazy 6 in a square) for 1846. They are asparagus tongs (I think).

Re: Umbrella Tip Silver

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Yes, the hallmark is London, 1927, and the very worn mark below would have identified the maker (or sponsor).

Re: help me identify a jeweler

WY is William Yates. Only the band (or ferrule) is silver. The rest is probably electroplated.

Hi Pufarin and welcome to the forum. Thanks for identifying this sponsor's mark and for the link, although it is not that of the Birmingham Assay Office.

Re: Small silver box from London

The H could be at the beginning or end of the mark. It is not unknown for a maker's mark and the hallmark to be in different orientations but I think it is more likely that the H is the last letter. However I cannot quickly find a "--H" or even a "H--" mark with that shape (strai...

Re: Help with Identification of Marks

Hi and welcome to the forum. The only significant mark is the monogram mark with the crown over it. This is the maker's / sponsor's mark of Charles Johnston Hill (the monogram comprises the letters CJH combined together). 819 is probably a pattern number and the L may be a journeyman's mark (the pri...

Re: Pepperette with replacement top. Maker of the top?

I would suggest this mark: https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Sheffield/TE+CoLtd.jpg which I have attributed as probably Thomas Ellin & Co Ltd. That mark appears to be overstamped on another mark which seems to have the shape of a flattened shield rather like the M&W mark on the base...

Re: Joseph Rodgers & Sons tea set

Hi and welcome to the forum.

This date letter v is for the assay year 1938/39 so it just pre-dates WW2. I can shed no light on the Indian connection.

Re: Sterling Silver Ladle circa-1720

GO is James Goodwin, this mark registered in 1710. The ladle is Britannia standard silver which accounts for the mark comprising the first two letters of the silversmith's name.

Re: Maker's mark interpretation, please

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Yes this is a London 1912 hallmark (more accurately 1912/13 as the assay year did not correspond with the calendar year). The maker's / sponsor's mark is that of Edward Barnard & Sons Ltd.

Re: Help with Ebenezer Oliphant mark

It's certainly Edinburgh, 1747 and Oliphant's working dates quoted by the Edinburgh Incorporation of Goldsmiths (1737 to 1766) fit nicely. The only caveat is that they show Oliphant's mark with a script E rather than a normal E.
