Off and on for years I have tried to locate the maker of this glass and silver comport. Maybe someone here can give me some information. I am assuming it is silver due to the fine cut glass dish at the top. I believe the glass is Anglo-Irish, but I could easily be wrong on that account. The name BRU...

The mark on this napkin ring reads Wilkens but is different from the 4 Wilkens marks shown elsewhere in this site. I am especially curious about the W B with an up arrow between that appears to the right of the Cresent, crown and 800 as well as the four letter initials. http://www.scherzer.cnc.net/r...

I need help in locating the mark on a silver plate tray. The mark consists of two hands "facing" each other. I have found single hand marks but not a mark with two hands "facing" each other. The tray, I believe, is English. Not including the handles the tray measures roughly 24 i...

Thank you again Blackstone. Now that I look at the mark it does appear to be a three masted ship and the II an H. What I am trying to do is determine how these two spoons and two that I posted a year ago (january 16,2010) are related as all descended from the same person. The two from a yr ago (phot...

Thank you hose_dk. Here is a related spoon, 5" or approx. 13 cm long related to the larger spoon above. The stippled engraving of the E.K.J. on this spoon is identical to that on the larger spoon above which measures 9" or approx. 23 cm long. However the hallmarks, if that is what they are...

Thank you. You are so correct. From what I just read on another site, the other names (name and initials with differing dates) on the spoon are later owners of the spoon, which I believe was called a captain's spoon? Again thank you.

Thank you for your assistance. I would never have guess the first letter in the last name was a J. Old script perhaps?

I believe this could be of Danish origin, but can not be certain. As shown in the photos there are two touch marks on the back. The one I cannot make out as to what it is. The other is obviously a key. Written perpendicular to the two touchmarks is the name E. K. Fepsen 1863. On the front of the spo...

Hi! I hope this sort of post is acceptable. I want to thank you as well as the others for the information provided on this subject and also for my inquiry regarding Kassel silversmiths in the German Silver Forum a short time back. I appreciate your help in getting my facts straight and opening up to...

The first photo is of the inscription on the back of a serving spoon given in 1835 in Trondhein, Norway, then part of Sweden, for what I believe was a prize for winning/placing in a biathlon. I could be wrong about that. The second photo is the hallmark(?) on the spoon. The third is the hallmark on ...

The letter looks like a P rather than a B. Here is a photo from the other bobeche.



Would there be a reason for the difference in the year letters as it appears the bobeches were made for the candlesticks?

I assume it is a coinsidence that the monogram of WK with crown is the same as the maker's mark(?) of WK on the base of the bobeche?

Thank you all for your assistance. I cannnot get a clear image of the town mark, though the letter is an A when magnified. I am also adding the monogram. My photo skills are not all that great. http://www.concentric.net/~scherzer/hallmark7.jpg http://www.concentric.net/~scherzer/hallmark8.jpg

I am new to German silver so....Can anyone identify this Kassel silversmith. The maker's name on both candlesticks is difficult to read, but I believe there are enough legible letters to determine the maker, if there is a listing of Kassel silversmiths. There is no numbering to be found either the s...
