Re: Wire Cruet Set: Two Makers

L&TP is L & T Powell whose Birmingham mark was registered April 1919. I have seen one previous example of this mark which had a 1926 hallmark so I think your date letter is lower case v for 1920. CW is Charles Wilkes and the spoon is dated 1901 so not the spoon which came with the cruet - if there ...

Re: Is this a mark for Chester?

Hi and welcome to the forum

Yes, this is a Chester hallmark and yes, AJC is Alfred James Cheshire. Many Birmingham silversmiths sent silver to Chester for assaying. I understand that this was due to Chester offering a faster turn-round.

Re: London pocket watch marks

Your watch case has a Chester hallmark with the date letter G for the assay year 1825/26. The maker's mark TE over HF is the mark of Timothy Ellison & Henry Fishwick of 5 Tarleton Street, Liverpool. It is more than likely then that the watch itself is the product of a North-West England watchmaker ...

Re: Rolled gold locket, hoping to date by patent

So US patents are no good. Apologies for sending you on a wild goose chase. I don't think older British patents can be searched online and I don't know of a correlation between patent number and year of issue.

Hi and welcome to the forum

I believe that you can search for patent numbers here: https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/static/pages/ppubsbasic.html. I can't read the number in your picture but no doubt it looks clearer in "real life". I think you will need to put a 0 (zero) in front of the number to ...

I can confirm that this PK mark is definitely one attributed to Philip Kinnersly by Douglas Bennett in "Collecting Irish Silver".

Re: Set of six knives, seeking maker

Although there is no town mark I am pretty sure that this is a Sheffield mark with the date letter "o" for the assay year 1906/07. The maker's mark has been double-struck, either one mark over a different one or the same mark struck twice because of a poor first strike. I favour the latter and think ...
