It would be helpful to post images of front, back, and a close-up of the mark. I have seen small antique pieces marked just "silver," but there is no fineness indicated; if it is important to you to determine the precise silver content, you would need to test the metal. Doing so is often d...

Thanks for the input. I'm not familiar with Graugaard - the piece that the mark is on looks similar to Aksel Holmsen scenic pieces:



Is that in line with what Graugaard produced?

Eiler & Marloe, Danish

That looks like the mark of Jemax, a Danish company.

I know I've seen this mark before, I just can't remember who it is:

HK = Henning Koppel; the bracelet was originally designed for Jensen in the 1946; design called "jigsaw"

The 830S fineness marking would seem to indicate Norwegian manufacture; I have not seen a Hammer piece quite like that, although it is similar to his style; perhaps Clement Berg might be a possibility? Also, I am still not convinced that the German retailers were not actually marketing and selling N...

Thank you for the information, I will definitely go poke around!

Thanks, Trev. If you need help deciphering the German text, let me know - it is my second native language.

That is also entirely possible. Just over the past few days, though, I have been researching a set of Marius Hammer spoons that bear not only his marks, but also those of Henry James Hulbert along with London import marks. Hulbert himself was also a prolific silversmith, but seems to have sponsored ...

Very interesting page of advertising - but is it possible the Unverfehrt was importing the soljes? The page is titled "Original Norwegian Filigree Jewelry."

The first pic has some yellow color cast, but I would bet that the inlaid stone is Connemara marble, a sort of olive-green mottled stone from Ireland.

This one has me a bit stumped, and not optimistic that I will ever figure out who made it, but it is a very high-quality, older artisan necklace with a hand-forged, 24" chain, and very detailed 1 1/2" pendant depicting a basket with amber grapes. The clasp is attached to a small plaque tha...

Jorgen Jensen of Denmark - but it's pewter, not silver.

I keep coming back to this piece for some reason. I just found this image online of a silver solje by Norsk Filigransfabrikk: (admin photo edit - images too large - link only - see Posting Requirements ) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h110/jritter284/norskfiligransfabrikk.jpg While not identical,...

Sorry for the delay getting back to this thread, it took me a while to find these two pieces. The open salt cellar is Russian, the solje-looking pin is unmarked. Both are brass with kiln-fired enamel. Perhaps all three pieces are somehow related? http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h110/jritter284/1-3...

Well, this is a bit late to reply, but I did not see this until now. The H in a triangle is the mark for the F.A. Hermann company of Attleboro, Massachusetts. They produced quite a lot of small enamel jewelry, typically with hand-painted floral accents.

The pendant was designed by Björn Sigurd Ostern for David-Andersen in the early 1960s (definitely qualifies as Scandinavian mid-century modern). It pops up every now and then on Internet auction sites and in online vendors' stores. The "Inv." = "inventor," or designer. (admin ed...

Hi all, I am trying to find out who made this guilloche button brooch. I am assuming it is Austrian, with the 935 fineness. Although I have found a few pieces online by the same maker, nobody seems to know who it is. Thanks! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h110/jritter284/1-35.gif http://i62.photo...

Charles Horner did several pieces with the fylfot symbol, from a simple brooch or bar pin to one of a key that incorporated the symbol. They are thought to have been designed in 1894-95, but most of the pieces were produced from 1905-1915 that I have seen. Of course it was not in any way intended to...
