I don't know what fable this may represent, but when I scrolled down the picture of the frog jumping out at me, scared the bejezus out of me! By the way, great item.

Hello Ms. Dog-

Are you sure the mark is an eagle mark, and not a makers mark? really hard to tell. Either way I agree that it is a nice looking ring.

Hello again Mr. Lumpy-

Hi Lump-

Unless it is marked "Sterling" or after this great site "925-1000" or a veriation there of, the item you have is likely plated. How did you determine it was 1939? Sorry, I do not know the pattern, perhaps someone with more knowledge will let us know.

Best wishes- Byron

Ahh... now I see the resemblance, thanks.

Hello Christian-

Cool! where did you discover that it is W. Hutton and sons? looks like it might be another mystery mark found! Do you have a reference of this mark somewhere?

Regards- byron

I agree, more likely malachite, definetly not turquoise. Hopefully someone wiil recognize the maker for you.

Best wishes- Byron

Hi Hose!

Where are you leading us to? I do not see the mark in the link you provided, being an amature with old eyes what am I missing?

Hi Trev- Not to argue, but cylinderical balls were called "rounds", then came the Minie' bullet (mini-ball) which was conical such as used in the Enfield rifle. A lot more could be said on the subject, except I guess this is a silver forum and unless we agree on the wolfman, we should keep...

No fair answering your own question, besides it is no fun that way. Where does the bullet shape come in here?

Larry's picture is a lot nicer than ours, what you think Pat... should we tell Tom? :->

hello Trev-

I do not seem to be having the same problems that you and JAKJO are with the password protection, I wonder why?

Sorry, I meant to add representing Saint George.

Hi Laudare-

Nothing to add for you, just it is an intriguing piece; maybe English? can anyone here tell by the etchings?

Byron

Hi Jayne-

What a great looking piece that properly sets the holiday season we are in, good timing.

Hello Lovin-

I agree with you, the styles of the two C.S.'s do look very different; perhaps your mark could be added next to the one that already exists? Also, I feel stupid here... but where have I seen that lickin' lion before? I just cannot remember. (anyone... anyone...)

Hi Ash- The term sterling could be from almost anywhere, interesting enough the sugar tongs could be from Mexico. Do they match the rest of the set? and are there any other marks on th items? possibly somone here can tell by the style alone... just not me. Here is where I identified the tongs as pos...

Hello Mac- From one Mac to another, I am sure this is not anything that you did not already know. The crescent moon and crown is German and it is 835/1000 silver. I cannot make out the makers or city mark, have you looked here to try and find a match? http://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks.html" oncl...

Hello again Louis- The box is lovely, is it plated and how big is it? I am just wondering what it might have been used for, since this information might prompt someone here to know when it was made. When posting, it is always a good idea to offer as much information as possible so members will have ...

Jowg-

I think the admins here will be happy to see another version of the unidentified mark and disappointed that there is still no answer to whom it belongs. Ohwell... perhaps your posting will help close in on the culprit that made these fine items.

Byron
