I think this beaker is of Swedish origins. The 3 Crowns mark is very small. Even looking at it with magnifying glass I can only make out a few points in one crown. Is it Swedish? The date mark, the M with a line over it should be 1770. Is that right? The maker's mark should be the BB mark. Who was it? The dot in the center is from when it was in the lathe. The last mark is engraved and not stamped. What does that mark mean? Also why is the outside bottom so scratched up? It looks like file or scraper marks. What is it's silver content? It is 144mm or 5 11/16 inches high. It's top outside diameter is 112mmm or 4 3/8 inches. And the bottom outside diameter is 66mm or 2 ½ inches. Thank You.

the M is Västeräs and maker is Bengt Björn 1734 1754.
I shall write a bit more later today - now off for the job.

the E is a mark also listed under that maker.
He started learning 2/7 1723 at P Pemer in Sala. thern he worked in Falun at O.H.Sjöberg
master in Westerås under Arboga in 19/8 1734 he held a number of public possitions and died 7/11 1763

congratulation with the pleseant surprice E is 1738.

by the way the . is centermark when hammering the cup. It gave silversmith someting to work from.

Thank you for the information ... ADMIN EDIT

Sorry Hose_dk, eBay user names and references to sales on eBay are not permitted.
I know you were just trying to help.

Pat.

No problem - when I saw I got so mad..
What and who do he think that he is. A "thank you" when he got the answers, or private memo saying same.
Why not? I know that whenever I buy something someone else should sell. And that is fully acceptabel. I am not better. When I spot a bargain - I dont tell seller.
So I am not better - thats not it. But no responce what so ever - that is to much.

Tomorrow I have forgotten :-)

Hi Hose_dk -

do not be angry! You help so many people and make them really happy.
Forget this unknowing, simple seller. Just imagine how often he bought and sold silver for the wrong price!
You have your versatile knowledge as advantage - but what has he? Blind and without manners in a tunnel - that is hard!

Indeed - and in fact I might also had helped nowing the facts. I am not in the marked for this. Sometimes I write to (auction) telling seller what he has. Buyer, seller, collector - we all benefit.
The problem is when we "clash" - interest varies and that is fine.
He is forgotten.
