May be, is it common to do so?

Dear all I recently acquired this 2" high and 3 " wide Indian salt. I was informed at the time of purchase that it was in Kutch style. Later, on close examination, I found some punched out marks that are slightly rubbed but I think read PI.85 or PI.80. I haven't been able to find these mar...

Any luck at all?

Dear Theoderich

Thank you very much for your help

Thanks Theoderich,
Did Mannheim not use a city mark? I recall an older post of a soup ladle where someone had mentioned that some Middle and Southwest Germany makers did not use city marks - perhaps Ludiwg Nagel was such a maker?

Dear all This is a variant fiddle pattern table spoon, 7" in length and 48g in weight. I have been unable to date this spoon or to identify the maker. It appears to be made of solid silver - I suppose '13' stands for '13 loth' and therefore probably German or Austro-Hungarian in origin. However...

I would be interested to know your thoughts on mark 2 by Storck and Sinsheimer please on the same link.

I found the following image on google search few years ago and had it on file as Neresheimer and Thomas Glaser. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/nbhatt1/471123379_o1.jpg The last mark on my image resembles Neresheimer's mark s520 on the link you kindly provided - I am guilty of overinterpret...

Hi I have seen similar pseudomarks on a tray with an additional mark that I have not found anywhere yet. However the two pseudomarks here are attributed to Neresheimer, a prolific Hanau silversmith. My tray also has import marks of Thomas Glaser similar to yours. I wasn't aware before that Glaser im...

Could it have something to do with St Malo, France http://www.925-1000.com/Ffrench_townmarks_06.html? However, it looks more like a maker mark to me...

Dear all I haven't been able to identify the maker of this 9" x 5" beautiful tray but I think is post-1886 German due to the crescent, crown and 800 mark http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/nbhatt1/2587e30e-e42a-4e13-be9b-db2310204835.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/nbhat...

Thanks Dendriet

Should have checked the 'silverplate' section - slightly disappointed that I have been had but as you say it is quite beautiful...

Thanks Trev for directing me to the right section and also for adding the full image...

Dear all I haven't been able to find the marks on this tea strainer that I acquired some time ago as a piece of continental silver. Any help will be most appreciated. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/nbhatt1/20130704_134853.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/nbhatt1/20130704_134222...

Thanks a lot

Dear all This is a 12" serving knife in (probably) Bright Vine pattern. When I acquired it, I was informed the maker was Joseph Gloster, which I don't think is correct as the date letter with the monarch's mark indicates 1860 and Joseph Gloster's mark was registered in 1890s. The only maker I c...

Thank you very much for help

Dear all This box measures 3.5" x 1.5" and, as you can see, has a gilded interior and chased exterior. Chasing is not seen at the base. The work looks very Hanau to me but I have not been able to find the pseudohallmarks to match with this. Your help will be much appreciated. (apologies if...

Many thanks to both of you for clarifying this

Sivermakersmarks, your website has always been of great help to me

Dear all This is a miniature/demitasse spoon measuring approx. 4 inches. I had previously attributed the mark to Lowe and sons but have some doubts looking at it again today as the star in the top quarter in thsi spoon is not obvious in the hallmark at http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Chest...

Many thanks to Trev and Cheryl - must have skipped over this yesterday...
