1986 makers mark CH

I cant find this maker for this Sheffield silver and enamel wine bottle collar. Dated 1986 and it appears to be a CH mark. Any idea who it could be? https://i.postimg.cc/WhjhR3xk/IMG-20210701-114652.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/21Sy6tkj/IMG-20210701-114658.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zVj3qN1P/IMG-20210701-...

Re: Provincial silver beaker

https://i.postimg.cc/3xq5hX1M/IMG-20210126-202336.jpg I think it looks more like a thistle than any other type of flower, and pretty similar to the one eventually used in Scotland. I understand the Catherine Wheel comparison, but do you really think the Thistle image is actually a Thistle? ::: If t...

Re: Provincial silver beaker

That may be so, but the set of marks does exist elsewhere as well, that's what I'm more interested in researching. Here is the extract from the above referenced article, available for public consumption at http://journals.socantscot.org/index.php/psas/article/view/7937/7905 "a most interesting ...

Provincial silver beaker

So the marks on this beaker appear in a 1935 article on Scottish Spoons, but are listed as unidentified, possibly the earliest recorded thistle mark. IN the article the author refers to Jackson who lists the mark (without the thistle) as unattributed possibly Yorkshire circa 1690. This beaker has th...

silver makers mark

Wondering if anyone can identify the mark on this box, its IS over a swan. Only a single mark. Not sure if English or Continental, but looks to date around 1800. https://i.postimg.cc/PNTZwRh1/IMG-20210119-130250.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/ZCDyXYNL/IMG-20210119-130357.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/LhDPB36w/...

I found these salt spoons, each marked with a 13 loth mark to the back of the bowl. I found one reference on the internet to a spoon of this identical design in the Solingen Klingenmusuem, but from a photo of a book entry (not sure which book), describing it I think as 16th century Renaissance, with...

Re: French Art Deco teapot

Sadly those are the clearest pictures I could get. They expand if you click on them, but the marks havent been struck very well, so I can't actually make out many of the letters in the mark even under a loup. I'll see if I can get a clearer one

This silver teapot has a single mark only, which looks like an Exeter 1744 mark, but could be Continental or from somewhere else.

Here is a Chinese silver plated tea set. The mark is quite distinct and the same one that appears on the Wold Hallmarks Overview page, but cant find it in the actual Chinese makers listing. Looks like a silver mark but the brass base metal is showing through. Any information would be most useful. ht...

Here is a silver teapot, looks Scottish in design. Marks are a longboat with AG under the ship, with AS as the makers marks.

I was wondering if anyone could identify the pattern for this water pitcher. It is dated 1909 and has a number, A7870. It measures about 10.5 inches high. I can't seem to find a similar pattern or other pieces from the set (if it came as part of a set). http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg311/jok23...

Re: silver knife

I have been doing a bit of research into the marks and the style of the knife. There appear to be two sets of marks dating from different periods. The old marks date from 1775-1801 and include from right to left, the mark of discharge for that period (knot?), what could be the letter N crowned (1776...
