Have seen two other objects with this unidentified makers mark that were not...

First I would like to apologize to Hose for asking privately about a makers mark that I was at that time unable to post on this forum properly. Now upgraded to a Dell laptop with Windows 8, you can all now comment on my poor photography skills. Was very drawn to the particular design motif on this s...

Great Jeff, So glad that worked for you. Do note in your last image, not only is it shaded but as you lean over the object the camera and photographer create a second shadow making it even darker. Keep working with everything you shoot, the images will get larger and clearer. Do review the excellent...

Sir,

Need to go for the clear shot on the marks, it does take practice. Try indirect day light with your camera on the macro setting for a start see what works best for you. Read through these posts, there are good suggestions there as well. Good luck with that, you can do it.

Warren

Mitch,

That armorial is very difficult to see from that angle in that light. May we have another shot please.

Warren

Travis, Looking at your first image there appears to be two other marks about one inch directly below your column and 800 marks. In your second image it appears to be at the bottom of your flash reflection point. Can you try shooting in daylight without the flash while using your macro setting on yo...

Right AGHEAD, It may actually be more correct to refer to it as white metal or pot metal, it's actually content being unknown. May have actually appeared silver like when new but turns grey as it ages. The small piece I mentioned in my last post here has the same brush strokes on the back you mentio...

Your very welcome Mitch, the family name Grosvenor sparked my interest in researching something out of my area. Had recently purchased a fine engraving of one of Lord Grosvenor's prized stallions Sweet William which I had also attributed to Hugh Grosvenor 1st Duke of Westminister. Looking more close...

This object is still worth a bump, someone can solve this question.

Good morning Amena, Early 20th century and that would be just a guess. It's interesting that the pewter is very thin, had a small piece that I attempted to clean just to see what it would do. Went right through it very quickly to the copper layer. On this piece the copper is exposed as part of the d...

Mitch, With a date of 1804 a more likely candidate for this coat of arms is Robert Grosvenor (1767-1845) who was created 2nd Earl Grosvenor in 1802. Created Marquess of Westminister in 1831. His son Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess, was awarded the Order of the Garter in 1857. Robert's grandson Hugh,...

Fred, Naval Storage Facility is one direction but can not archive or store everything, just not possible. They out process material all the time. City Hall, may be boxed and stored without being on an online catalogue. The silver and the bell have been sent to a more site specific location or organi...

Gee everybody is having such a good time. If you look at the sarong the women are wearing is common in many parts of South East Asia. The hat he is wearing as he dances is from Bali. Can be just a scarf tied around the head to a formal hat. The script is most likely Hanacaraka or Aksara Indonesian, ...

Hi Fred, How large is this plate? Out of a full crew, how many officers? Can anyone identify this Ellmore pattern and the period of manufacturing? Now I'm assuming that the five digit number on the back is a pattern number. The only reason I mention it is because it does not look like a Bureau of Sh...

Allow me to suggest a few other combinations as in LG & CD CD & LG Now the .C. at the top isolates that letter on some level, does it create LDG as another possibility? Then what would the C stand for? Maurice suggested a symbol, very possible. The city where he or they worked? Could that sy...

Salaam AGHEAD! Was not rocket science but it did turn out to be brain surgery. According to Dr Khan and others the cartouche directly below the scene reads as follows: "Scene from the operation of surgery of the brain by the hands of scholar known as Bou Ali Sina." In the West the Persian ...

Actually the 4 letters with crown appear to be starting from the 9 o'clock position: L C C D. Does that make any sense? The mark below that appears to be a crowned fleur-de-lys. Using my old iPad to expand the image.

Warren

Hi Cheryl,

How would you describe the mark? A floral spray or a swag?

Thanks
Warren

Angie, Lovely little sterling scent bottle. Do not speak Hebrew but punched Jerusalem into an English/Hebrew translator, it does appear to be the second line. The third line being 925 obivously. Attempted to work out the first line using the Hebrew alphabet but no luck. Check with your local Rabbi i...
