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 ...

Re: Dublin 1719 maker's mark PK
I can confirm that this PK mark is definitely one attributed to Philip Kinnersly by Douglas Bennett in "Collecting Irish Silver".

We really need to see your picture embedded but PK could be Philip KInnersley, working dates 1702-1742.

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 ...
