Hello again, I have trawled through a couple of Manchester directories with this catch though.

Hello, Traintime has set the identification ball rolling, but I want to send it in a different direction. On my first look at the mark I saw "SW" and the web site referenced by Traintime has a slightly clearer version of your set of marks, definitely with "SW" to go with a very similar crown mark ...

Hello, nearly 5 years on and I have come across this same, not well referenced, set of electroplate marks. They were on a normal serving spoon this time.

Hello, I believe I have an image of a spoon that could have a relevance for this 2014 post. The image is that of a 10cms long scalloped bowl condiment spoon lacking both guild mark and a date letter. The maker's mark is "I.M", the same mark suggested as on "Niceguy1's" dessert spoons. This condiment ...

After checking some Sheffield trade directories and a Grace's Guide reference, "Austin & Dodson", do not look to me as a good fit as makers of your hollow ware. They have a classification as "Steel Refiners" along with the manufacture of "heavier" items like tools, steels and files. The question I ...

Hello again, "silvercollection.it" has very similar marks listed as from the below concern.

Edward Dodson and William Lawson Austin, active at Cambria Works, 191 Arundel Street, Sheffield, established in 1865.

Hello, do you have an opinion on the mark next to the bigger shield mark? Is it a pictorial mark or a letter mark? AD&Co, or DA&Co looks like the concern, but no British suggestions come imediatly to mind.

Hello, I need to correct myself a little, I have left a final "n" from the end of John Yates trademark's name. It should read "Virginian Silver" as show below in the part transcript of an advert published in the Illustrated Midland News from Saturday 21 May 1870:

YATES'S VIRGINIAN SILVER and ...

It is interesting and also worrying that such a lot of cutlery is attributed to Israel Yudelmann concern but with the such small information trail. He and his Son or Sons have apparently been involved in the distribution of cutlery with mid 19th century styled manufacturers marks on. However if ...

Newspaper adverts relating to Brush & MacDonnell. To the left Dec. 1859 and to the right June 1867. Perhaps underlining the important retailing part of the business.

Hello, an image of a set of pseudo hallmarks, that I had copied some time ago, has just resurfaced from one of my unknown marks folders, so whose marks are they?. The ugly looking, very near hallmarks were taken from a spoon, suggested to be a 19th century London item.

Piper Connection
High Street, Exeter

The city of Exeter in Devon and the surname "Piper" is already mentioned in 3 posts on the Forum. However, it does not appear to be the same "Piper" in all of the 3 posts.
Below is the directory entry that brought my attention to the "Pipers", there being a ...

James Muirhead & Co. Glasgow

Hello, here are a couple Nickel Silver trade names I believe not many of our Forum readers will have heard of, let alone seen. The tradenames are "Sycee Nickel Silver", and possibly "Glassford Nickel Silver". The Glasgow concern of James Muirhead & Co claimed ...

Hello again, to go along with the buildings and the public transport, there were a few more trade directory entries.

Nice images Traintime, the one with the H.Samuel shop and the trolleybus is fairly late though. The Morris Minor car in the picture was first show at the London motor show late 1948, so image possibly circa 1950.

Hello, I have been trying to sort, for my own mind, the silver plate marks of Thomas Woolley, the Birmingham electroplate ware manufacturer, but a "Woolley & Co", also from Birmingham, crossed my path in a Birmingham, 1896-97 directory.

Hello stardus7, the manufacturer's marks on this teapot are very badly rubbed and the gothic style lettering is hard to sort anyway. Looks like a crown and then "D &" followed by 2 other letters. If enough forum members look at you image, someone may recognize the marks but it may take a while ...
