ADMIN: PLEASE REVIEW. This may have some racy images and I don't mean fine silver.

Cheers,

I'm sure someone may recognize this, but I'm totally stumped. I'm not sure it's American. Anyone know this mark on a serving spoon?! It was extremely tarnished and seems to have a lot of honest wear. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg

I can't find a good match but it almost looks like a hybrid sword / tomahawk. Interesting!

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

I figured on all counts. Thanks very much for sharing your wisdom. I really appreciate it.

Hoping to confirm I've read these marks correctly and see if anyone has more insight as to the maker which Jackson and others list as unattributed. I read this as: Co (maker), Lion's head erased, Britannia, 1716. Great appreciation for any feedback you may have! https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jp...

At $.50, I'd say it was a chance well taken indeed!

Sigh... Thanks to you both for astutely noting the alterations to this tastevin. I have to confess when I was reading about the origins of coffee and tea in England I was struggling to figure out what you would have poured from this pitcher in 1648. I was hoping for sauce boat, but you've found the ...

Anyone know what the purpose of this item is and the maker of this item? English and crisply dated to 1648-9. I found the mark in one of my books, but could not find the attribution of it. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg

Thank you! That's a huge help to me.

I would really appreciate it if you can ID this one with pretty worn marks. It appears to be a French centerpiece or compote of some sort. Heavy cut crystal and silver trim. Minerva mark as well as an unknown maker mark. I've included a rendering of how I think it is marked (not positive). https://w...

Better pictures of the marks in case someone comes along who can give a good translation of what I think are Meiji period Japanese marks.

My Chinese friend translated these marks today. They say, in Japanese, pure silver, Fujimoto made. There is another set of marks that describes the Kyushu retailer under the rim of the lid (not posted).

Hi there,

I'm really hoping someone can help me out with these marks. I'm having a hard time figuring this one out.





Thank you for considering!

Nate

It's certainly an iconic cup. I hope this Edinburgh, Scotland MW mark will eventually get attributed! Thanks for weighing in, Trev!

Nate

Anyone now the maker on this cup?

Thanks!

I've got a buckle here unlike any I've seen before. Measures 92mm x 100mm and weighs 66.0 grams. The buckle has a small hole in each of its four ends for an unknown reason. Markings are merely the pinprick type on the back for a couple of letters (owner initials?). I have three questions. 1. What is...

I'd bet then that that is the single letter mark of Journeyman, Daniel Ball. Does that follow?

Thanks!
Nate

This is a bit of an esoteric question. I have a group of three William Bateman II spoons and they're well marked for 1837. There is a very very small submark on them ('B'). What is this small mark? Is it a quality mark or something else? Anyone know? https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://ww...

Wow! Thanks so much!!
