Hello Trev,

These are the marks on a paper knife from W&H New Zealand.

Next to the W&H mark is Rangitoto, a landmark island in the harbour of Auckland, and the kiwi. I suspect that the W&H mark is not an original punch.

kiwi birds ?

Hi Eddie,

Welcome to the forum!

I saw this piece for sale, looks like you won the bidding!

I would say that is almost definitely a kiwi, so would point to NZ origin, but apart from that I've had no luck tracing it.

Walker and Hall did use a kiwi, but it doesn't look like this one. I would say ...

... is shown below. There seems to be on each post two consecutive marks of this form - looks like birds heads but maybe interpreted as birds flying (though to the right, not as for Portugal) or Kiwi/Hen type bird in full. Any thoughts on origin welcome. Thank you

Hi guys,

Yeah I think you're right Trev, I think it is Steward Dawson, it looks like he's overstamped his own mark. Both the '& Co' and 'STG.SILVER' match his stamps.

(Samuel Drew used DREW for his maker's mark).

A nice piece of Kiwi silver!

Hi Kiwi Doug,

On page 49,entry 41, family crest for Burrard shows some similarity.

Hello Kiwi Doug,

Just to inform, you could ask the: library@thegoldsmiths.co.uk
They are the best and very friendly to assist, all they have to know is your question with a photo of the hallmarks, and all this great service comes for free!
Good luck and inform this forum of the outcome. Thanks in ...

Good day Kiwi Doug

You are very right my mistake, the maker’s mark must have been registered before or on the year of the used date letter. I believe you will become a good silver gynecologist.

Hi Kiwi Doug,

Correct, if you only showed me this particularly London date letter d, I could not make a decision between both possibilities. Perhaps an expert could, but not me. The duty mark in this case is a good indicator, to narrow down the date letter d, for 1819-1820.

Regards,

Oel

Hi Kiwi Jen,

I don't know what the other members are seiing but the're neither pictures nor thumbnails...

Normaly I'm using IE ( Internet Explorer ) and already did a checkup with Mozilla Firefox with rather the same result...so no images at all...

Cheers, Mc.Didi

Hi McDidi of Belgium,

If you click on the second thumbnail it will enlarge in size and the mark will be visable. Cheers. Kiwi Jen

... the back is as smooth as a baby's bottom - not a single mark. Why would it not be marked?

Any clues as to any likely history? - guesses will be gladly accepted!

Many many thanks - kiwi jen
