this is a 1 3/16" by 1 5/16" silver plaque of some sort. it has two holes presumably for mounting on some object or container. it depicts a thermometer, the base of which is a flaming heart. the marks on the thermometer apparently indicate distance (Km) rather than temperature. the bottom ...

hi, i found these circa 1940s handmade sterling earrings and have not been able to identify the mark. the estate had some other early rebajes pieces and i thought these might also be by him, but the marks do not seem to be right. unfortunately the marks are partially obscured on both earrings. both ...

the form (like a sword handle) and the uneven bottom edge remind me of some shiebler and redlich designs. the style of the stamped numerals is similar to those found on their work as well. (redlich was a former shiebler designer). it is rare but not totally unheard of for their pieces to be unsigned...

usually such diamond-shaped makers' marks, sometimes called "pseudo hallmarks," are found on mid-19C american coin silver often from NY. i would have guessed this knife to be c. 1860 coin silver based on the mark and decoration. since it is stamped sterling, it might be a little later, c. ...

from the small portion of the bracelet visible in the picture, it looks very similar to balinese woven silver jewelry, possibly specifically a "wheat link" chain. balinese jewelry has become very popular thanks to the john hardy brand. it is not john hardy, but i do not know the specific m...

these are legitimate modern marks, probably not more than 20 years old. tiffany's has always used the "makers" stamping to indicate items produced in its own factory. this shape is called a revere bowl, after a design by paul revere, and has been produced in silver and plate by countless m...

the flowers are identical those seen on symmetallic brand jewelry, which was a trademark of the prolific w.e. richards co. of attleboro ma. although i don't recall seeing your specific mark, many of the company's trademarks did involve an enlarged "R" so it seems reasonable to conclude tha...

hi warren,
thanks--i was on the go when i shot this so i only had my phone camera. i usually use a dslr with a macro lens to shoot jewelry, i would attempt photos of the marks, however, it does not seem like the maker is going to be identified.

hi all, i purchased this estonian silver brooch today for my collection. i was hoping somebody might be able to identify the maker--i could find no resources online with contemporary estonian maker's marks. it is very nicely handmade and designed; made of dozens of individually assembled lengths of ...

Thank you! It does look like the firefighter badge helmet! Mine definitely has some crude aspects. It seems to have been cast from melted silver, then hand sawn and decorated on the front. The enameling itself is very well done, and probably taken from another piece and repurposed on this pin. Altho...

Hi - Perhaps it has escaped your attention that this is a silver forum and that google translator exists.... The shown badge is from a firebrigade anniversary I suppose. Motto something like: One friend - a force of honor - TEVZ Industrially manufactured - no hand engraving - white metal.... Regard...

I found this really neat old Latvian pin this weekend and would like to know if anybody can interpret the symbolism. If depicts the Latvian coat of arms with some modifications--a castle design on top of the sun, a set of initials which I can't decipher on the lower left and a book with the dates 18...

sorry for the improperly sized image, i did not see maximum pixel width listed, only inches and no resolution guidelines, so i just guessed...

anyway i hope this fits

Can anybody provide a translation of the engraving on this Russian silver vodka cup? i attempted to use google translate but came up with a lot of nonsense. i think it has a name, followed by some kind of toast, and then a date of 16/II 65p. i think this means either February 16, 1965, or February 1...
