Hi, I just bought this snuff box. I thought it was very unusual. Looking more closely I am now not sure the marks are right? Sorry they are not hugely clear but I cannot find a date letter to match the Sheffield series c 1840, it is oddly struck too and the queens head looks a bit high in the oval? ...

There will be an exhibition of Archibald Knox’s work, including fine silver for Liberty & Co, 1899-1906, at the Manx Museum, Douglas, Isle of Man, from 12th October to 13th January, 2019.

I found this in the London Gazette on the disolution of Davies and Northwood partnership. It looks like they were jewellers who lasted just 10 years. I think there is a chance the “medal” fitted to the lid of the box is earlier in date and solid gold. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://w...

Thank you. What a coincidence

Hi, can anyone tell me who the maker is of this large 1818, London silver gilt snuff box. The maker is I.D over T.N in a square cartouche. Thank you

That is quite something, thank you. Please do let me know when and how I can obtain a copy of your article once it is published, thank you.

Thank you

Here is another S.M piece. Japanese or Chinese? I think Japanese for sure. Brilliantly conceived

Thank you. I have another S.M mustard which is incredible and also stradles the two countries, though is ultimately very Japanese. Will post in due course.

Can anyone please help with the identification of this S.M makers mark? S.M was/were definitely active in the 1890’s and this mark appears on most Liberty & Co Japanese silver of this period that Liberty imported for their London store. Hence most likely it is a Japanese maker. However, some hav...

Thank you very much. The image you sent through depicts exactly what I have, though mine are later and with stronger gilding. I have had another go using them as peppers this morning - pretty hopeless but not inconceivable is how I would describe it. On closer inspection the stoppers are numbered, I...

Just realised I didnt fully answer your question. Each one is 2oz (I have a set of four), London marked, about 8.5cm long.
Thanks

Hi, thank you. I cannot get a focussed image of the marks but they are marked on the stem for William Hutton and Son, 1908, with the sterling and date mark also on the stoppers, so quite late as most I have seen are 1890's by Edward Hutton. I dont think they are pepperettes, partly now I've seen the...

Hi, I have recently bought a set of Edward Hutton silver gilt poppy heads c 1890. They are normally sold as pomanders or peppers. I am not sure either description is right - I attach images via flickr including of a Sampson Mordan hot air balloon pendant that has a similarly designed interior. That ...
