Thank you so much for the date info, much earlier than I'd imagined. Can anyone say what they are made from? Would they be silver gilt? They're very 'gold' coloured.

Thanks again,
Lucy

I'd like confirmation please that the knife and fork have a Dresden mark. No idea what the other marks are so again any help with those would be wonderful. Also, are they silver gilt? Many thanks again! Lucy http://f.imagehost.org/t/0447/Gold_Coloured_Knife_Mark_1.jpg http://g.imagehost.org/t/0576/G...

Thank you. Once again I am miles off the mark - literally!

I looked at all the date charts but as a novice the differences between letters is so subtle. They're probably blindingly obvious to you!

Thanks again.

I've just been told by my husband that this is a St Christopher. I am so ignorant!

I'm assuming this is a charm, I've no idea what else it could be with a diameter of just 12mm. There is a mark on the back which I think is 1899.

Just a thought, and please forgive my ingnorance, can the tongs be dated to 1823?

Many thanks once again - this forum and it's members are marvelous!

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you Trev!

Hello I have a set of 4 napkin rings by Payton Pepper & Co. The base of the box has a sticker saying 'Birmingham 1857' The 1857 has been crossed out and replaced with 1871. From what I can find out about PP&Co, both of these dates would be too early. I think the date letter could be 1901 but...

Hello again! Can anyone tell me if the tongs pictured are silverplate or silver? I think they're plated but have no idea what the marks mean - I'm sure there will be someone out there who can help. Many, many thanks and again, apologies for the 'yellow' images! Lucy http://g.imagehost.org/t/0826/Sug...

Hello again I can't identify the maker of these plated sugar tongs. Also, is it possible to date them from the stamps? Many thanks once again, Lucy http://g.imagehost.org/t/0758/Sugar_Tongs_1_Mark.jpg http://g.imagehost.org/t/0865/Sugar_Tongs_1_Picture.jpg

Hello Despite the great wealth of information I'm not sure of the date of these Hawksworth, Eyre & Co sugar tongs. I'm thinking 1893 but could be completely wrong! Many thanks and apologies for the 'yellow' images! http://g.imagehost.org/t/0917/Sugar_Tongs_3_Mark.jpg http://g.imagehost.org/t/069...

Thank you so much for the quick reply! Forgive my ignorance but can you explain what a nickle silver alloy is?

Hello First time on here, and I've absolutely no idea where to post a completely unknown item so forgive me if it's in the wrong place! I have three metal baking spoons which I've been using for the past 15 years. They were my mothers and grandmothers baking spoons prior to that! I've onlly just not...
