I was researching the same mark and ran across your post. I found a nice second source of marks at Heritage Galleries.

Here's my photo of the mark. I actually like your drawing better. The photo at Heritage is much better. What is that thing on the right? Looks like a dog in a raincoat climbing a ...

Cool, a company not even mentioned in the Encyclopedia. Thanks.

Why can't I ever find these? 3 crests: horse, something abstract, and 3 ravens, or maybe they're ducks. I looked at the Revere marks, which always seem to include a horse, and they don't look similar. Dates to 1947. Thanks for any help...

Can anyone help me figure out what this vase is? The mark looks
vaguely like Porter Blanchard. Does the 600 indicate 60% silver?

Is it perhaps Asian or Turkish?

You're exaactly right. A web search yielded:

Thanks for taking the time.

I'm convinced it's Towle and Sons. I looked up the Dorothy Q pattern by Lunt, and it isn't similar. I found a listing on eBay that sports the same mark and they also listed it as Towle and Sons.

Thanks so much for taking the time.

Here's a small salt shaker with a mark I can't find.



Thanks for your help

Thanks for the help.

This dish is marked with three marks, a crown, an (indistinct) and a lion (I think). Is this British? Any info? At times the middle mark looks like an ornate M, other times like a B. Comes from an estate with many items received as wedding presents in 1947.

I have 2 pairs of sterling salt and pepper shakers, and I can't identify the mark on either. Help? The first mark looks like an "R" over a crest with a horse; the second is small and indistinct, at times looks like a teddy bear's head, other times might be the outline of a bird.

I'm trying to identify the maker and possibly the age of a rectangular sterling tray. I know it was a 1947 wedding gift, but I can't identify the mark. The tray is about 14 inches by 10.





Thanks

I have an 1880s vintage spoon with a mark I cannot id. It looks
like a standard lion passant from British silver, but there's an
extra item below the lion, like he's standing on a rock with a "K"
on the rock.

Can someone identify this? Thanks. - Chuck

I have an interesting incense vase that I'm trying to research.
It has intricate etchings, and a strange mark on the base.





Any help?
