Hello, have seen objects by Binder with production numbers around 65000 that by their style can be dated to the late 1920ies or early 1930ies. That would be my guess here, too. Regards, Bahner

Hello, would agree that this is most likely for grapes. Regards, Bahner

Hello, just to start this rolling I suspect plate and the 960 may just be a production number. Regards, Bahner

Hello and welcome ! We probably need better closeups of the marks, but I suspect modern silver in the Hanau style. Regards, Bahner

Hello, little is known about Berg. Active since the first half of the 1850ies I believe that the production of small silverware (I am not aware of larger pieces or of flatware) went well into the 1920ies. There was (and maybe still is) a jeweller Berg and Co in Stuttgart, possibly this very company ...

Hello, this is one of many variants of the Bruckmann eagle, compare here https://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_a1884_2.html The pattern was in production pretty much from beginning to end of the company. I tend to believe that the eagle in a circle was used until the early 1920ies only, just a gut ...

Hello, this is the mark of Berg and Co from Stuttgart. Regards, Bahner

Hello, this is a candle wick holder. As you stated 12 L. SILBER is for "12lötiges Silber", equals 750/1000 fine. This can be very roughly dated to 1850-1870. It will be near impossible to identify the maker, H may be his initial, no idea though. The engraving refers to the German city of F...

Hello, turns out there IS a book which deals with Czech artists and I had it on my shelves all those years .... HG is most likely the company of Heinrich (Jindrich) Grünfeld (1888-1952), active in Prague and known for making ecclesiastical silver objects for various religions. Believe the dates give...

Hello and welcome ! Indeed Austria, any time between 1867 and 1922, when the use of these marks was discontinued. I see the letter C right of the head, which ist the letter of the Prag assay office, so this is from the Bohemian part of the former k.k. monarchy. The letter left of the head should be ...

Hello, interesting piece. Just offering this as a possibility: this could read "Mode Aktuell" (roughly: current fashion), in fanciful script and incompletely struck. I would date this to the 1970ies to 1980ies, possibly a little later. The style would fit that period. As has been stated be...

Hello, this is modern Hanau silver, maker ist J. Kurz. Compare here

The other marks are pseudo marks. Regards, Bahner

Helle, an incompletely struck mark of Hermann Bauer. Compare here

btw. happy Independence Day to our North American friends ! B.

Sorry, I should have been more precise. I was referring to the old maker's marks, not the Neresheimer-N. This was no doubt used by Neresheimer only. Just checked with an old catalogue of Nereheimer's (well, not really old, it is from 1985...): the statues are listed under No. 11805 (left) and 11806 ...

Hi Peter, I don't think that such conclusions can be drawn from the marks we are seeing here. We have no way of telling whether the punches used here were newly cut or were the old ones. Thiele writes somewhere that punches freely changed hands between various Hanau companies to be used by other Han...

Hello, see the list at the end of this article

Hello, a half moon seems to be missing here, which makes me wonder. This would not have happened to a German maker. The 800 was punched in an oval once, which looks like an Italian mark. Maybe what we have here is a set of Italian pseudo marks on a piece in Hanau style silver. Regards, Bahner.
