That's Friedlander...wrong spelling in earlier headings.

What should I make of this 7.25" spoon. It is marked FRIEDLANDER and has very worn London hallmarks from, what, 1798? (though the date letter cartouche looks wrong.) The only mentions of Friendlander are in Glasgow and Germany. Appreciate any insight...! http://tv.llum.com/FullSizeRender.jpg ht...

Thanks so much. I think you are right. It came with a couple of other NH silversmith spoons.

There is only this spoon...

Any help figuring out the first part of this mark...thanks so much.

Wow, what a fantastic resource this forum is! This makes perfect sense, as I am in Philadelphia! I take it then that this is coin silver? Best,Kent

I found this lovely spoon with a twist handle and bright cut decoration. It has no marks except the what looks like PGP or PBP in cartouches in the stem just above the bowl. Can't find anything about them. I'm not even sure this is silverplate. It came with a bunch of early-mid 19th century American...

Here's the poole pic I referenced.

Hello all, Very interesting question. I have a 1950s cedar-lined Poole cigarette box. It is marked Sterling by Poole 82A on the bottom. No other marks. I have seen the same box, with the same model number, but with a "weighted" stamp just below the model number. My box weighs 617 grams, pr...

Oem,

Wow, thanks very much for the very quick reply. i wonder if the lack of the triangle mark has any significance. Kent

Hello, I purchased this terrific, large 21" table mirror. It's only mark is a stamp at the top - the name Hermann, with a left facing lion in a round cartouche. The frame tests sterling, but I may not have scraped deeply enough. Any ideas on composition and origin? Could be Germany, Austria, Sw...

I just sold a brooch with this maker's mark. (The photo is of a gold earring and brooch set that has the same mark...didn't get a photo of the sterling piece.). The buyer asked for an ID and I promised to try to find one. It looks like an arrow through a seed or maybe a W.... Stumped. http://farm9.s...

I am looking for information on the French silversmiths Fabre. The workshop, based in Paris, also made silverplate objects. Any information on dates of operation would be appreciated.

Sorry, I misread the first letter in my previous post. I'd appreciate any help with this mark. Looks like the letters HF with a sword in between them, and the number 5. Found on the bottom of this delightful silver plate cup, with a squirrel handle and a hand etched fawn and squirrel scene. I'm told...

I'd appreciate any help with this mark. Looks like the letters SF with a sword in between them, and the number 5. Found on the bottom of this delightful silver plate cup, with a squirrel handle and a hand etched fawn and squirrel scene. I'm told it comes from a wealthy estate in Philadelphia. The se...

Thanks all. I spoke with someone at Reed & Barton today and, while she was not certain, she was pretty darn sure the company never made a Sulgrave Manor candelabra in sterling. She also was pretty certain that the 5115 number definitively identified the piece as silver plate. I agree with JLDogg...

I found a pair of these candelabras in a consignment shop. They are marked Reed & Barton 5115 STERLING, with the 1950 year drum mark inside each base. The base is hollow and the walls are very thick, about 3 or 4 mm. No other marks anywhere on the candelabra. Did R&B make this pattern in ste...

Good call, Silvery. After I saw your post, I found this on google: http://www.iheartcharms.com/pages/galle ... n-co31.php. I guess it's not definitive, but it's looking good...Many thanks.

Hi, I'll try to get a clearer pic. The letter is a lower case letter a.
