Hi and welcome to the forum.

Both of the hallmarks are London sterling silver marks with the date letter "n" for the assay year 1908/09. EHW is Edwin Henry Watts and the other mark, WS..o, may be Wilkinson Sword Co, but without a complete mark I cannot be certain.

Certainly 1789 "o" and 1809 "O" are practically indistinguishable. I dated your epergne as 1809 because there is no convincing T·P candidate mark for 1789.

W·B is William Bennett, this mark registered 1808. W·G·W is a later mark of no significance added by an owner.

Grimwade (London Goldsmiths 1697-1837, Their Marks & Lives) identifies a T·P mark registered c1758 as Thomas Pitts I, with the note "Previously called Thos. Powell". This mark is not any of the surviving registers so was probably in the lost 1739-1758 Smallworkers' Register or the 1758...

Ash registered marks not just in 1801 but also in 1810 and 1818. I have noted his mark up to 1817, so we can definitely assume a working period to 1818 and beyond. But to expand on your remark about a potential 4 year working life: this is not quite as unusual as it might seem and there are several ...

The marks look OK to me, Aleks: London 1919 with the maker's mark of Henry Perkins & Sons.

You will find an exact match for your Mappin & Webb mark here.

Phil

I can indeed see why you thought it was a C. It just goes to show that references cannot always be relied on. I have illustrated that cycle at https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dat ... -1922.html

Phil

That's actually "O" for 1911.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I agree with your reading of the hallmark. No doubt you have also identified the maker's mark as that of Francis Higgins II.

Phil

Hi and welcome to the forum This is a London import mark with the date letter "c" for 1918/19. It does not show where the watch case was made - probably it has the same origin as the movement. 7163 is a number specific to the watch. I agree that the scratch marks are likely to be service d...

I think it's the crest of an institution of fairly long standing as I have now seen an identical crest, also on a silver skewer, dated 1850.

Phil

It's definitely a Glasgow hallmark but your picture is far too blurred to make out any details. Please try again with your picture. It is most important to get the marks in focus; try waiting until you can take the picture in daylight and don't try to get too close - a smaller in-focus picture is mu...

JW&Co is Josiah Williams & Co, a Bristol company with a long history. The lion passant is the hallmarked guarantee of sterling silver and the other 2 marks are the (somewhat rubbed) uncrowned leopard's head for London and the date letter H for the assay year 1943/44.

1896 is correct - to be strictly accurate it's 1896/97 as the assay year did not start in January - for Sheffield the date letter changed on the first Monday in July. AC is Alexander Clark.
