This is from a list of Maine Jewelers - don't know if it is any match: Hartford, G. W. C.: JLY & W, Sanford, 1882 That's a very interesting list. GWC Hartford was a retailer of jewelry & watches but I can't find any retailer marks for them. I would think that they would use their last name ...
I have a butter knife that I'm certain is coin silver but not sure of the marks on it. It's marked "G.W.C." and has what looks to be a journeyman's mark to the left. Is anyone familiar with GWC? I'm not sure if it is a maker or retailer but am having trouble finding any info. https://lh3.g...
Hello, I purchased a thimble collection with some vintage and antique Sterling thimbles. I initially thought this one was a copper or bronze until I looked closer. I've never had English gold, but I'm not sure if this is a gold, gold plated over Sterling or ??? It has a crown with 18 which would mak...
Hello, I have a compote that is marked "Sterling A.G.". I'm not having any luck finding any makers with those initials and I'm wondering if the A.G. just stands for silver? I've found a couple other examples online that show the same mark but nothing that references the maker. Any info is ...
Hello, I've got a cake server with a Sterling handle but can't ID the pattern. Not sure if I am just overlooking the correct one but I'm not seeing it. If anyone else can tell which it is it would be greatly appreciated! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2XAbA3vNVFUWtj0-74UGta_ckJBzgTQWpTA9NQcsHgl37...
Hello, I've got an antique Masonic belt buckle that is marked "Victory Silver" and the name Wolverine. I've never seen silverplate marked as Victory Silver before. Is anyone else familiar with this? When I found it I thought I read "Victor Silver" which would have made sense, but...
Flat Rose is the name of the pattern that I've seen used. If it were Sterling (or .830 used commonly with MA) I would expect a 5" 2 prong fork to be around 15 to 20 grams, give or take, so I'd think that 10 grams on one silverplate fork unlikely.
Has anybody ever seen any flatware made by Keer & Kingsland before? I have a spoon that is an exact match for their mark, but they were jewelers and I have never seen any flatware attributed to them. They were based out of Attleboro, MA from 1893 to 1904. I haven't been able to locate any other ...
I have a pair of tongs but can't place the marks. I'm thinking old Sheffield but not able to id the maker.

I have a spoon that I'm pretty sure is Spanish, but I have no idea on the maker's mark. The bowl of the spoon has the five pointed star for .915 and another mark that looks like a 3 over GR. I'm not sure if the GR is a town mark for Granada or a maker's mark. I've been trying to find info on Spanish...
I have a butter knife with a MOP handle and the bolster is marked "England". The blade has a star along with what looks like a gothic R&B marking. Seems like it should be an easy one to ID but I am having a bit of trouble. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/EEYXx3Bv_QlCf5__L3-G2S9Ykxu5h...
This is a mark that seems to appear on a lot of pieces with retailers in the area around Detroit and as far East as Erie. Still looking into identifying it.
That would make sense with this one. This piece was purchased at an estate sale in a suburb just outside Detroit.
I have a spoon that I believe is French silverplate but I cannot ID the maker. The back of the spoon is marked 90-12 and the front of the spoon bowl has a 12 in a square along with a makers mark. Any help in identifying is greatly appreciated! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/fKc7_tQsF8Xz5SqzRp9fPn...
Hello, I have an antique knife & fork pair but am having trouble deciphering the marks. They are a matching pattern but the markings do not appear the same (the fork has 4 marks and the knife has 5). Any info is greatly appreciated! http://vintage-renewed.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1.jpg htt...
