Hello, my guess is: around 1900/1910. But this is just a gut feeling. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, if the letters read as F and H and there is a dot between the letters, then it s probably Franz Held from Vienna. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, it is a little difficult to see, but it might be the mark of the wholesaler Kindervatter and Schwerzel from Frankfurt/Main. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, it is the mark of Theodor Mueller, Weimar. The workshop executed many designs by the Belgian artist H. van de Velde.But this seems not to be one of those. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, >100< was widely used in Germany to mark plated cutlery. It means that 100 gramm of pure silver were used to electroplate 24 pieces (12 large spoons plus 12 large forks). So my guess is, that the pieces are German and plated. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, it is probably a tray for visiting cards (Visitenkarten-Staender). It was probably made or retailed in the 1920ies or 1930ies. Posen sold a lot of stuff marked with the various Posen marks, but produced by other German companies. The Berlin branch of Posen is listed in the directories as late...

Hello, nice piece ! The mark is that of Grosjean & Woodward, who actually made this (Tiffany just sold it) the ENG stands for English Sterling, and it was used between 1854 and 1865. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, the mark is that of Erhard & Soehne (Erhard and sons) of Schwaebisch-Gmuend. Interesting piece, quite unusual if one looks at other products of this manufacturer. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello Antiquer, SB is for Samuel Bardet, active between 1759 and 1800. The letter V in this shape was used between 1771 and 1773. Best wishes, Bahner

Dear janwh, there is only one known Hamburg goldsmith who used the 'AZ' in a rectangle: August Heinrich Friederich Zwicker. He was born around 1770 and died in June 1832. He was active in Hamburg since around 1802 until his death. Maybe he is the guy. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, strictly speaking - yes, there should also be half-moon and crown. But you can regularly find German pieces with just a makers mark and the mark for the silver quality. As there is no central assay office for Germany, nobody actually controls, what kind of marks a company or a silversmith use...

Hello and congrats on this beautiful pair. Its from Breslau, Schlesien (Silesia), now Wroclaw, Poland. The city mark (first on the left, badly struck) ist that of the head of John the Baptist, below it the year. The letter 'U' was used between 1861 and 1876, the (very low silver standard) of 700/100...

Hello, these pieces are not Scottish. Style and marks remind me of german pieces. The Deyhle company (now inactive) in the ciy of Schwaebisch-Gmuend, Germany, used a mark just like that. The word Sterling can be found on German pieces, too. Best wishes, Bahner.

Hello, this seems to be the mark of Schmidt-Staub and Comp. of Pforzheim, Germany. It produced small silverware, among it jewellery, silver chains etc. It is listed in the directories until the middle 1980ies. Best wishes, Bahner.

Hi peterb, 'Kraemer' ist probably the mark of jeweller and goldsmith Friedrich Kraemer in Saarbrücken, Germany. In this case he seems to be the retailer, not the maker. The two marks for the German silver standard look like those used by the company Lutz and Weiss (now inactive). My guess is that t...
