The information for this and other of my replies comes from the book Svenskt silversmide, Guld- och silverstämplar 1520-1850. It's a reprint from 2000 by Nordiska museet of an older book with some additions and includes drawings of the hallmarks and short biographical information about the makers ...

It think this one is also Örebro although similar eagle town mark was also used in Arboga. The problem is that I couldn't find similar maker's mark with initials LPH in script. It could be an unknown mark used by Lars Petter Hackzell (1768-1771/72) who worked in Örebro but only a for a short period ...

The bird is an eagle for Örebro. The maker is Christoffer Ekbäck (1839-1869).

Anders Fredrik Weise (1776-1808).

Yes, it's Stockholm 1796. The maker is Pehr Zethelius (1766-1810).

It’s Stockholm and the maker is Gustaf Henning (1731-57). U is for 1756 in Stockholm. Sweden started the year letter series for the whole country in 1759 but some major towns had their own year letter systems before that usually combined with zigzag line.

Just guessing but maybe Brandy from Madeira. Apparently they make sugar cane brandy/rum in Madeira which has a long history.

The first coat of arms with royal orb is for the Swedish province Uppland and the second one resembles that of the neighboring province Västmanland although its not an exact match and could be for some other municipality etc. (or the engraver wasn't that skilled). The coronet is that of a Swedish ...

The second mark is a single crown for Finland. 3rd is the town mark and it looks like it has two fish for Uusikaupunki (Nystad in Swedish). 4th marks is fineness 13 loth and 5th mark A4=1882. The first mark is the maker's mark but I couldn't find any silversmith with initials ML in Uusikaupunki or ...

The dog's head crest and the motto Denique Coelum is identified by Fairbairn's Book of Crests to Melville family (apparently different branches with various spellings but several have used dog's head as crest). They seem to be from Scotland but maybe some had an Irish connection. See: https ...

I can't help with the age/origin of the plate but the picture depicts Jesus and is more specifically called Arma Christi or the instruments of the passion. For more information see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arma_Christi

Just curious
What does ALOS mean in the cartouche?
I didn't find anything in the dictionary
Amena


Could be a corrupt conjugation of a Latin verb alere (to nourish). Not sure which would be the correct one though. The heraldic achievement isn’t that convincing either so one would expect bad ...

The crown above the coat of arms tells that it belongs to an untitled noble (Adel) family (so not counts of barons etc.) which makes it rather difficult to identify the family. The spoon is German so the best assumption would be that the family is too so if you have time and energy you could browse ...

I think it's GGL for Georg Gleerup, Copenhagen 1950-60, with Swedish import marks.

I don't think the rooster has anything to do with France. It's stands on a torse (heraldic term for a twisted fabric roll) so it's a crest. Crests were used by British families who were granted coat of arms so if you know the name of the original owner's family it might be possible to find it in ...

Three crowns in oval is the Swedish import mark so the item was imported into Sweden and S means that it’s silver. Are there any other marks? There seems to be something in the middle of the 4th picture but is it just a scratch or a reflection?

I agree. Nothing indicates Russia. The carving could depict Holy Roman Emperor Charles V during his coronation procession in Bologna in 1530 and the person wearing a mitre could be pope Clement VII (one of the first bearded popes). This was the last time the pope crowned an emperor in Italy. I ...

I don't see any Swedish import marks here unless. There should be an oval three crowns' mark. The oval leaf mark looks like a thistle which would indicate Scotland and MAB looks more like MAH to me.

Yes, it's Helsinki 1888. PA is Petter Airaksinen (1871-1898) who was a subcontractor for RM Otto Roland Mellin (1860-1907).

London 1859 (Queen Victoria's head and d). As far as I can see the maker's marks is GA for George William Adams.
