There is a bagpipe maker called John Dunbar but not sure where he is based...could have had the silver assayed in London perhaps.
Best wishes, MIke.

I do not think it is a salt cellar but how big is it please...if, as it looks, it is about 4"" across it is a bon-bon dish. Salt cellars were generally not made on pedestals as salt at one time was a precious commodity and would need not to be spilt. In 1934-5...salt was less precious but was normal...

Sheffield 1932-3. Don't know the maker.
Best wishes, MIke.

Hi. The ring is 9carat gold and was made in Chester in 1911. Sadly I can't help with maker but someone surely will. Best wishes, Mike.

Gold and silver watches were imported to various areas of the UK and would have been assayed at the nearest office to the importer so it is quite concievable that the makers(who are possibly Swiss) had their items assayed at many UK offices .

What you seem to have presented us with is a series of riddles which would be difficult to solve. Could you please either post photos of the items and marks or just describe the marks exactly as they are on the item without all the references to other similar ones. It may just simplify things. Best ...

If I am seeing them correctly, the handles have a 'crown' a lion and the queens head (Victoria)...this would make it Sheffield silver but there should be another box with just a single letter in it...if so please show pic so that we can date it for you. CN is the maker and I don't have a clue who th...

EPNS simply stands for Electro-plated nickel silver so they are basicaslly silver plate. Best wishes, Mike.

Yes the marks are a little difficult to read but if they are as described:- What would look like a shield but is a leopards head in a box. A lion with front paw raised in box, An italic 'n' in a box and queen victorias head in a box, then the spoon is certainly solid silver from London and probably ...

The EPNS stands for Electro-plated nickel silver..which means the item is silver plated. Are there any other marks on the item please? Best wishes, Mike.

The reason for the lack of information online is that a book "Charles Horner of Halifax" has been on the market for some years and has copyright on his life and works. The book retails at around £40 and I am sure someone is making a fortune from it. Best wishes, MIke.

You can contact the Bankfield Museum in Halifax through the following website for a definitive answer.

Just copy and paste into your address bar and GO. Best wishes, Mike.

Similarity in castles of Edinburgh and Exeter...might be worth a check. BWC is Benson Watch Company. Best wishes, MIke.

Have you checked the Danish Makers on this site? Best wishes, MIke.

Would have considered it as a biscuit server.

The spoons are Electro-Plated-Nickel-Silver( EPNS)...the A1 is the grade of the silver plating which is the best and the name on the box is the retailer.
Best wishes, Mike.

I find that to get clear close up photos...I have to set my camera at 'macro' which is the close up mode but also use the flash unless the lighting is exceptionally bright. If I don't use the flash my close ups are blurred. There are David Andersen marks on this site.....
Best wishes, Mike.

My first instinct was to attribute to France because of the style of it but the mark threw me. Many handles of this style were made in France in the late 18th early 19th centuries. But quite a few were also reproduced at the end of the 19th early 20th c's. I would suggest you get it acid tested at a...

I have seen a silver box of that period marked IA which was attributed to John Allen whose son(s) went on to be spoon makers later in that century. Sorry can't be more definitive or helpful. More research needed. Best wishes, Mike.
