I have several different pieces of silver with the following marks.




Confused to who or where these marks come from- Hanau?

I just picked this up, odd marks that I can't ID. Thanks for any help.

Your pics are a little blurry. What I see on the far right hand side is a hexagon with Diana's Head, looks like A= Vienna, 2=0.900 silver.

Thanks...Yes I had looked at the Hanau marks and saw the S490 reference. I had also read the some of the older threads regarding the crossed keys. I also see windmill without blades. As far as the N in the shield...to me it clearly looks like a rams head. The mark is upside down in the photos. I don...

I forgot to mention that one of the marks looks like Liegnitz City Mark. What did not make since to me is the cow or ram mark. Also, if you look at the handle there is an odd deity holding up the building...Poland just seems not right. There is another odd marking that I cant make out.

Hello, I'm hoping to get some help identifying the marks on this spoon. I picked it up 6 months ago, appears to be solid silver. Interesting piece but I don't have any info on it. Thanks for your help. http://i50.tinypic.com/63umb8.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/1232pab.jpg

Now that they are sold can you provide some insight into the makers marks.

I have been following this thread, it appears that the maker of these spoons remains unknown...?

David,

Thanks for your help with the translation.

I'm trying to identify the markings on the piece, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I have this match box and I'm unsure of the maker or country of origin. I'm also interested in what it says on the cover. Thanks.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate your ideas. The picture below is from the same collection. The dragon looks very similar and the item has the shanghai inscription, I assumed the piece below was from China. Different maker marks but a very similar silver mark, I thought the maker mark was written i...

Okay, thanks for your ideas. The style of the pattern and markings sure look Chinese rather than Japanese to me. The idea of on incense burning box seems plausible. I thought it was an item from the 40s or 50s to be sold to tourists (stamped silver) but maybe not.

I have this item, not sure what it is or who made it. It is silver maybe Chinese? Any help would be great. Thanks. http://i45.tinypic.com/2dkcscn.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/33xa545.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/209ki29.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2is7794.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2mm5wcy.jpg

I have seen this mark before but I can't remember the maker nor can I easily ID from books or web. Please see pictures below.

Hello, First off I want to say thanks for whoever might be able to help me with understanding more about the spoon I have. I have posted two pictures below. The spoon may or may not be silver, it tests for silver and I don't think it is plated as there is no wear anywhere on the spoon. Tarnishes, fe...

Thanks for the additional information. The makers mark is incredible small on this fork, it is 3 mm by 9 mm which is less than 50% of the size of the assayers date mark. Why do you suppose they made marks that were so small relative to the assay, silver purity, and city marks?

Not sure what happened with the zoom in photos they did not look like that when I downsized them. Thanks for your help. http://i40.tinypic.com/k3knds.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/xcvmmr.jpg (admin photo edit - images too large - link only - see Posting Requirements )

Here is a silver fork I have and hallmarks. Can anyone help identify the maker? http://i40.tinypic.com/j7xchl.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2h8d7io.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/2ywa5fs.jpg (admin photo edit - images too large - link only - see Posting Requirements ) Thanks for any help.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc89/mhagg191/Cook1.jpg I'm new to this forum and was wondering if anyone had information about the composition of John Cook flatware. I recently picked up a teaspoon that was marked with the horizontal diamonds connected with a circle, inside are the initials J a...
