The pattern looks like Gladstone by Amston Silver Co. I've only seen their mark as Amston written in cursive. The company became a division of Ellmore Silver Company c.1940.

The pattern name of this cold meat serving fork is Carnation (silverplate, 1908) by Wm. A. Rogers (Oneida). Wm. A. Rogers, Ltd. was succeeded by Oneida Silversmiths in 1929.

Hi, welcome to the forum. You expressed an interest in the paper decal on your pin/brooch. Due to certain design or composition features, many pieces could not be safely stamped with the eagle mark. This could be an item like your abalone pin/brooch. In instances where it could not be safely stamped...

Welcome to the forum. This candlestick was made in Mexico. The mark shown is of Plateria I. Vigueras. I see it has an eagle stamp, but can not make out the number. The correct eagle number should be 35. You state it is marked Sterling, however, I do not see this in your photo (the 925 is legible). F...

Hi, Could your third picture be a lion's head inside the letter "C"? The Canadian national sterling mark was instituted in 1934 (per Dorothea Burstyn). On July 1, 1978, the mark was changed to a maple leaf surrounded by the letter "C". Your rosary was made between 1934 and 1978. ...

Hi, regarding Poland’s silver standards and marks per Tardy and another source: From ~1920 — 1962: Silver fineness: 1 = .940, 2 = .875, and 3 = .800; the woman’s head with kerchief faced to the left, with the silver fineness to the left of the head, and the assay office to the right of the head.

Hi. It looks similar to Gorham's year marking of 1897. Is this possible?

Hi, Hougart's book attributes the above mark to Plat-Mex S.A. (Eagle number: 1, 20), with a later registration number ME-15. From 1980 to the present, the registration system is comprised of two letters, a hyphen, and then a number. The first letter identifies a location, i.e. "T" for Taxc...

Hi, This is the mark of Plat-Mex S.A. (S.A. - Sociedad Anonima - Initials for "incorporated"). Plat-Mex is a manufacturer whose pieces were sold throughout Mexico. Mark: PLAT-MEX SA. Eagle number: 1 or 20. Under the 'new' identification system they use the registration number ME-15. Best w...

Thank you to this site for the Illustrated Silver Glossary section, which can be accessed here , or from the top of the page under Resources. We have researched the term Journeyman's or Tally mark. Is the CS (?) on this Gorham Sterling bright-cut Chrysanthemum (1885) berry/casserole spoon termed a J...

blakstone — We thought this may be a Hanau silver piece, but were unsure. The workmanship executed is of reasonably high quality, and thus this bowl must be an early piece of Georg Roth & Co.
Thank you for your very informative reply! It is appreciated. TD

Here is a footed centerpiece bowl we believe is from Germany. There are two marks on this bowl. We have looked through Tardy's book multiple times, and the first mark looks similar to that of Augsburg. Also, we note that Tardy only shows marks for Augsburg until 1790/1800. Are there further referenc...

Hi, We have a child's fork with the "Rosebud" trademark that we purchased long ago. Here are two photos showing the entire fork (4 1/8" long), and the pattern a bit better. We are not sure if they produced other patterns as well. Hopefully someone else can help further. Regards, Terry...

This mark is attributed to Plateria Azteca (mark: Azteca and Aztec warrior head). I believe I see an eagle mark of 31. According to Hougart's book, Plateria Azteca's use of (Hector) Aguilar's eagle 31 was supposed to be restricted to those items manufactured on behalf of Hector Aguilar. Your second ...

Thank you all for your responses. kerangoumar — You make some good points. As the design flows from the top cap to the bottom of the piece, I tend to believe the piece was made at one time. If part was added later, it should be hallmarked for a different year. dmay — Thank you so much for your infor...

I have a question regarding an English sterling sugar castor we purchased. The hallmarks of the top of the castor indicate this was made in London in 1897. The maker's mark is "C.S over an H", Charles Stuart Harris, London. The hallmarks on the body of the castor are also marked for London...
