My grandparanets brought this candelabra over with them from Europe to the USA in the early 1900's. This is the first time I have looked at the hallmarks. Like the teapot I posted about a few days ago, this seems to be from Austria also. The top and bottom pieces separate and seem to have different ...

Marks are registered in ``INTERNATIONAL SILVER HALLMARKS`` - by Tardy, France, there is edition in English. Marks were struck in Austria — Hungary in very early 19th century, i.e. by 1810, or so, a kind of ``duty`` mark. They appeared with various towns in the Habsburg Empire. There is no detailed ...

Hi Avenger, Welcome to the Forum. Take a look at this post: http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=28559" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Does the 'CD' mark match your example? Trev. Now that I've cleaned up the piece, that mark looks pretty close! Do you guys think it...

Okay. I got some cleaner and polished the item. Below are the pictures of the results. On the bottom the "CD" and the fancy "R" are pretty clear. The marks on the top are faint but for the first one, I think you can just make out the "CD" so they may be duplicates of th...

Coud this be German? I found a mark that looks very similiar in a German book online to this one beloning to Christian Drentwett. I haven't found the "R" yet but I see some examples of B's and R's that are of the same style that originated in Germany.

I'm going to get a hold of some silver polish and clean it up a bit. The marks on the top are extremely faint. If it isn't British and that "R" is a non-standard date code, then its going to be pretty hard to figure ut its origin if we can't make out the top marks.

Does the 'CD' mark match your example? Trev. I don't think its an exact match. I've seen a few other marks with a "CD" in them too. I'm starting to think that it may be British with the "R" being the date code although I haven't found a match for that style of "R" yet....

Another collector on the internet just suggested to me that this item is a George III teapot. After browsing through examples of them on the web, I agree. I've found ones of very similiar style. Could anyone help me with the hallmarks though? I've scoured through the site looking for that style of &...

My grandparents had this item in their house for as long as my father could remember. It could have came with them from Europe when they entered the US in the early 1900's. I think its a teapot, although it is small and its design is very plain compared to others I've seen on the web. There are two ...
