Thanks once again Trev,

Is there a reason why when I take images for site. The site seems to cut off all right hand side of the image?.. Am I taking them to large for the site?

Can anyone assist with this mark on this snuff box? Very difficult to get images close on it so hopefully what I have shown here will be enough for someone to give some information on the box. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/vintagecollector/Caithness/P1670183.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/a...

I thought I would post this interesting item and see what everyone's thoughts were as to what its actual intended use is? As you see its shaped as a pear, It is silver but no marks can be found but it has been engraved with the year 1840. Lid pulls off so one would think its a snuff box or even a tr...

Possibly a slop pail or a lidded sugar bowl.

I was just curious if everyone would agree with my thinking regarding this very fine object. Its hallmarked from London 1906-07 with makers mark being that of Henry Williamson Ltd. It was purchased and described as an Edwardian calling card case but I see this myself as a vesta case for longer than ...

Thanks once again Trev, You are a wealth of knowledge.

Regards,
Colin.

I have here a very interesting silver spoon with excellent enamel work and a unusual handle. The enamel work is excellent and the work towards front of bowl is transparent and resembles a stain glass window when held to light. My problem is , yes on first glances it looks Russian but I am not so sur...

Many thanks Trev, once again most appreciated.

I wonder if anyone can assist with these marks, I am pretty sure the tea strainer will be of Dutch origin, Main marks located between the top two cherubs heads and another small mark to left side of head. Thanks in advance. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/vintagecollector/Caithness/d1.jpg htt...

This one I am only stating is white metal, may be silver plate or lower grade silver but as yet not tested. We would appreciate if anyone recognises the Arabic lettering to base and can establish Country of origin, approximate date etc. Any assistance would be greatly received. http://img.photobucke...

Looks very similar thats for sure Trev, Its getting a Country at times when your unsure that can be the hardest part.

Appreciate that one, These have been annoying me for about 6 years!

In my opinion this is the mark of Edwin Millidge. He was known to have produced flatware.

These 3 match box holders I have had for several years and once in a while I look them out and see if I can get a match on the hallmarks but as yet I have had no luck. Difficult to get good images of the marks so I have tried taking images through a loupe which I hope will be sufficent for someone t...

Many thanks for that R ingo much appreciated

Interesting silver spoon which is engraved with the year 1803 on terminal, We think it is Danish in origin but would appreciate any information on the marks, Maker and conformation its Danish would be great. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/vintagecollector/Caithness/P1650634.jpg http://img.ph...

Just thought I would add a further image of this mark on a basting spoon.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what this cutlery pattern is?. Handles as well as tines and blades are hallmarked from Birmingham 1845 and each handle has an Rd mark from the 8th of January 1845. I have included quite a few images so please moderator if I have included to many could you please let me ...

Hi Trevor, I thought it might be of some interest as there was quite a bit of conversation going on in this thread, Just glad to be of assistance.

Just found this post and thought this may be of interest, Newcastle serving spoon HM 1797 with double duty marks, by Thomas Watson. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/vintagecollector/Caithness/P1650589.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/vintagecollector/Caithness/P1650590.jpg

Many thanks yet again Trevor,

On further close examination the letter {i} may indeed be a second number 1 , so I think its the lower standard silver.

No letter apparent over the boars head.

Any thoughts on items purpose?... Until I hear differantly I will assume it is a table crumb tray.
