Difficult to tell H&C. or H & Cie
If there is a rosebud above and a star below, with H & Cie, it could be Henin, (& Cie), Paris.
H&C. is for Hauvy fils & Crampon

Two-pronged fork is for shellfish, snails and hors-d'oeuvre.

Hi, Images have disappeared, but nevertheless,if Qrt.S said it was NOT genuine - trust him, he knows. 1.According to the Russian Law about the Nobility, people who were awarded with the St. Vladimir Order (each class until 1900) had had the rights of hereditary nobility. 2.M.Perkhin was one of the b...

Do not worry, cup and saucer are genuine,there are many facts supporting authenticity.
Marks were punched to confirm duty paid, not for us to admire them after 150 years.

Hi, I think Qrt.S is right about ЖОЛПИН Николай, 1837–1857: СДМ; в 1849 г. имел мастерскую, Постникова—Лосева: клеймо № 1359. This is from Skurlov.There is no other family name starting with Ж among St Petersburg silversmiths. Besides,Russian given names starting with this letter are extremely rare....

No appraisals here but I suppose this is about 10 quid value now compared with 1935. If you want to compare the value of a £10 0s 0d Commodity in 1935, in 2019 the relative real price of commodity is £681.90 Six grams of pure gold is about £ 240, i.e. calculated to 22K or 91.67 percent pure gold is ...

Hi,
Those are pseudo marks, even faked marks for Vienna 18th century and pseudo or faked Augsburg.
Possibly Hanau,but more likely faked marks.
Show us the whole item,please.

Hi, We are in the realm of forensic research now; insufficient marks, tremolierstich, the style etc. Fortunately, modern electronic testing available nowadays can shed some light. Let`s determine exact composition of the alloy.Very old silver had completely different composition of trace elements th...

This set of marks appears on a cigarete case dated 1917.Remarked in Soviet era. https://abload.de/img/m_94855882bd82adc0968v7kdt.jpg Common features on 76 items emerging on Russian forums: poor quality and made close or during WW I. Anyway, assumption are poor method of judgement. Regards

76x10.4 = 790.4 in metric fineness. Three months after the outbreak of World War I, silver coins disappeared from circulation in Russia, Difficulties with silver raw material affected all jewelry firms. Even in Faberge workshops, wooden frames with silver ornaments were produced; by the end of 1916,...

The lock itself is inserted behind the plate made of silver.The plate slides to reveal the lock, but here there are two balls I am not familiar with.Possibly screws, but not sure. Anyway, the lock case is never soldered and should be opened easily.The locks are very simple in those sugar boxes and a...

The facts also support the probability the item moved eastward in front of the revolution. Irkutsk was very,very far from European Russia, but close to China.A wave of Russians migrated to Australia in the 1920s after the defeat of the White Army by the Bolshevik forces. These were known as the Whit...

There must be at least one more letter in front of OSCH, possibly the name of German maker in Czechoslovakia.
For example,Tosch is rather common German family name.
Also,possibly not officially exported to Israel but brought there and the owner had Israel mark added.

The letter was written in mid 1916 when The Great War was already raging and at the time when Wogau family sold all assets and left Russia.Meaning,the letter witnessed the change of company leadership,old executive (most likely a German) was replaced by a Russian. His name is mentioned in the book R...

Hi, Wogau & Co was a huge trading company with several branches in Russia.They traded almost everything, from chemicals, machinery to sugar and tea.It was founded by a German Maximilian von Wogau in 1859. Almost all leading positions were held by German citizens, for this reason, after the outbr...
