I wonder if anyone can assist and possibly silverport who I know has excellent knowledge of Portuguese silver. Firstly for the life of me I can not find a site out there giving good details about dating Portuguese silver, I am sure I have used before but I can now not seem to find it. It carries the...

Many Thanks yet again Trev, That confirms what another person on board suggested.

Many Thanks,

I will look into the Harvey family crests,

Silver dessert spoon hallmarked London 1807..Nothing at all out of the ordinary but for the symbol on the terminal. I wonder if anyone recognises this symbol, My initial thoughts are it may be Masonic or religious ? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/vintagecollector/Caithness/P1650198-1.jpg htt...

Thanks Trev, I appreciate that, Not at all disapointed as such...The mark threw me and it came in a boxed set of 12, however this is a replacement as the other are all London Victorian examples so possibly one was lost and this was a later replacement.. Hopefully someone can give a little more infor...

Wondering if anyone can assist with this Aposotle spoon, Not sure if its Chester? The mark looks like an early Chester Town mark. Would appreciate some thoughts on this one as I am unsure.

Chinese Silver & Enamel Box which is Chinese in origin. However only Chinese character marks to base with no English lettering to make it nice and easy to work out maker and date. Can anyone help with a maker and an approximate age for this wonderful highly detailed piece. Thanks in advance for ...

The silversmith is PvdW* which is the hallmark for P van der Woude who worked in Sneek in The Netherlands from 1898 until 1917, this information i have just received so it is now confirmed the spoon is not manys years older than the English mark.

I wonder if anyone can assist a little with the Dutch marks on this spoon, The spoon was imported into England by Boaz Moses Landeck and carries import marks for Chester 1913, However it also carries Guild marks which I thought were done away with around 1810?...Is it possible the spoon is a lot old...

Many thanks for this information, very much appreciated, Kindest Regards,Colin.

I have this interesting Portugese silver toddy/sauce ladle, It carries the boar mark with {II} , I no or I think I know this dates it to around 1887-1937, however there is a second mark I can not make out and I am unsure if anyone will be able to make it out as its very small and under a loupe I can...

I have a perfect condition nicely detailed filigree silver spoon, I wondered if anyone knew what the lettering on back actualy said or meant. I am assuming the piece may well be Indian in origin, Any assistance would be appreciated. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/vintagecollector/Cigarette%2...

I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this quite stunning spoon with pierced work bowl finished in enamel, A lot of detailed work to this spoon which tests as silver but no marks what so ever can be found on it, Does anyone know the meaning of the central enamel symbol to centre of bowl..Look ver...

Hi Silverport
Many thanks for your thoughts, I would imagine you could be on the right track regarding it being an apprentice piece, As yet I still have not been able to track down the P.O.R mark.

A very interesting item which I am sure is a sardine server, it measures 120mm in length and weighs 34 grammes. Only P.O.R is marked on the reverse side and thus far I have been unable to find anything anywhere with this mark, Can anyone assist at all with Country of origin, maker and maybe even a ...

Thanks Trev, not an exact match but I think you are right, no other mark I can see to date it to a year but maker is a great help, Thanks once again, appologies for late reply.

Can anyone assist with this toast rack , maker and a possible date? Pretty difficult to get a photograph of the makers mark so I hope someone can recognise from this image.
