Hi and thank you.

I think plate is more than likely. Is it possibly and import into Belgium though? Just wondering. Maybe I should move this question to the silver plate section.

Thanks again for your input.

Hello. I have a feeling this caddy spoon is either Dutch or German because of it's style. I'm not sure though so have posted here. It has "LES HALLES" over "YPRES" on the handle so is probably a souvenir. https://i.ibb.co/SRkYf1z/Img-0488.jpg It does feel like silver though the o...

Consider nose bitten!



Looks like a 'K' for 1920.

I need more practice with a loupe!

Thanks again,

Peter. Thank you for this. I am a little surprised as I always thought this style of box was usually earlier, turn of the century sort of period. I will have to revisit my small collection and do some more research to date everything. As for a date letter itself. I've had a real good look and can't ...

Hello forum, Attached are images of a birthday gift, a silver tobacco box/pebble which is approximately 7cm wide. Could one of you possibly identify a maker please? The lion with overlaid key export mark seems fairly clear next to it. https://i.postimg.cc/3d0TPC0k/Dutch-Silver-Box-3.jpg https://i.po...

Peter, Thank you, excellent spot. I looked through this page and couldn't make out any matches and clearly needed to look closer. I do think you may be right. Trev, Thank you for pointing me to this string. Fascinating articles and clips and the information on John George Smith especially. Ian T

I have a George Roth Tobacco box with the makers mark showing the silver as '930' purity though the UK import marks show it as 925. https://s33.postimg.cc/9gbby65jf/Img_0375.jpg https://s33.postimg.cc/czx9nxq8r/Img_0377.jpg https://s33.postimg.cc/44wfdfoln/Img_0378.jpg Ian T

Hello Forum. I recently purchased a large scent silver bottle around 7" long. The import marks are for London 1897. The importer is JS. Can anyone identify that maker here or should I try the British forum? What I'd really like to know though is the maker. I am making the assumption these are H...

Thank you AG2012. I must admit that when I first looked at the this joint I thought it was a little shoddy. And the more I look at it, the more it looks like a repair or two separate pieces joined together. Another point, the others ladles I have seen images of have a bowl either almost horizontal t...

Thank you all for this. I must admit, I hadn't even considered Sheffield and looking again everything looks right for 1927-8 and Cooper Brothers & Sons Ltd. As for purpose, could it be an English toddy spoon? I must admit this also hadn't occurred to me as I thought these were only made in Scotl...

Hello forum. My local charity shop has what I believe is a 12cm long silver gravy or sauce ladle with marks I am slightly unsure of though I'm really just looking for re-assurance I think. The maker would seem to be Charles Boyton and Son, a 'CB' over '&S' though I can't find an image of that fo...

Thank you both. looking closer under a loupe, yes it probably is Zwernemann. I can now see it is a crescent followed by a crown and after the '800' a six pointed star with the edge of what is probably a Z inside. Sadly the letter isn't very well defined. That really is excellent help, thank you both...

Hello forum, I bought what I believe is a sugar scoop a few days ago. I would be grateful if anyone out there could both confirm that's what it is and also help me with a makers name and/or manufacturing date. I am posting here as the name on the stem does suggest it may be German. https://www.925-1...

Hello Dognose and AG2012. Isn't life and silver complicated!? I take your point about the different assay offices. The reason I thought this was 1946 was simply that the W looks upper case especially compared size-wise to the other marks beside it. The bottom edge of the date letter border does look...

Thanks, I found that one too. Isn't that a London maker though?

Could it be H Pidduck. Searching for the Henry Perkins mark I found that one and it might be right.

Thanks for your help.

OK. I haven't been able to take a very high res picture as my camera is cheap and nasty. This is the best I can do.





Thanks again,

Hello. I recently purchased a small silver and enamel box at a fair and would like help identifying the maker please. I can't get a good picture of the marks, though most are fairly clear. The maker's mark is HP.& S with just the one full stop. This is followed by an anchor, a lion passant and a...
