Many thanks for your help Pat and Tom. I will follow up on your suggestion of M & Co. I mistakenly thought the first character was an A and not a hallmark - I'm sure you are right.

Tom, I will insure my images are the right size next time.

This candle snuffer has been gifted to our charity and I am really keen to know its origins. It looks as if it is silver-plated and the hall marks give A M & Co. I would appreciate any help I can get on this item. http://annaowen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/CandleSnuffer/candle_snuffer_1.jpg" onclick="...

Thanks Mike for the extra information about Charles Horner. We are a charity and are given items to sell for our work. It is therefore very useful to have so much information from experts such as yourself.

Thank you, Carling, for your prompt and most helpful reply. Yes, I do think that the date letter has been rubbed beyond recognition. Is it likely that the wood acorn holder would be the same age as the thimble itself? Thanks also for the reference to the web site, which looks very interesting. Anna .

I have a silver thimble with a wooden acorn holder. I have been told that the thimble has a Chester hallmark. The manufacturer is C.R. & Co. Would be grateful for any help on date or manufacturer. http://www.annaowen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/thimble/thimble_detail.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href...
