Hi all, I bring a set for coffee, from late XIX or early XX century, with two marks each piece. The upper mark seems a human face and in the bottom I see an "A" and "S". In the middle looks like a "T" and a "V" tangled. Any clue about manufacturer and probable...

HI all, Today i bring something i call "cesta" in spanish, I'm not sure if i can literaly translate it as basket as I did. Apologies. Anyway, I know my "cesta" is made in England and agree to RD number, in 1900, but I am lost with the manufacturer. Who is St & Cc ? I let you ...

HI all, I have a Christofle silverware with a number, I am tracking down. Riding the web I found those serial numbers, in Christofle's, are unique for each article, even when the tradition sets them for a whole batch. I also read that nobody knows the code, no record exist and probably never existed...

Yes, now i see it ...

Oh yes, I didn't mirrored it. Another clue to keep searching for dates. Do you know when that advertisement was released? Precisely I was looking for it now, and seems It was made between 1886 and 1893, agree to sterlingflatwarefashions.com " Began as Alvin Mfg. Co. in 1886 and founded by Willi...

Hi Trev,

Honeslty i didnt know what was the top of the mark :)

Thanks for your prompt reply, very cool to see the old advertisement ... indeed.

HI all, This little bottle probably contained some cool "perfume" long ago. I cant smell any trace of it now though. Anyway what i do care is about who made it, I suppose sometime between late XIX and early XX century, when art nouveau was flourishing. The marks are difficult to read. I se...

HI all, Here is this little bottle, I assume for some kind of liqueur, from late XIX, maybe early XX, with three marks in the bottom: "Sterling", "4 100", and something else, certainly the maker's mark. http://la-valia.wallinside.com/fotos/14024913881565534885.jpeg http://la-vali...

let's see what else i can find ... thanks again.

Hi Trev, I found in silvercollection.it that William Howe & Co was active under that name from 1858-1861, then stayed only as William Howe until 1866 ... and several names came later. So I am starting to think my rack belongs to 1858-1861, am I close ? :)

Ty again.

Hi all, Here I'm posting a rack with a sort of gothic mark. I only see the easy part ( & Co.) but as usual this stuff becomes tricky for my untrained eyes. Help ! http://la-valia.wallinside.com/fotos/1399407759706337185.jpeg http://la-valia.wallinside.com/fotos/13994078581448349439.jpeg Thanks a...

Hi all, I have a serving tray i can't tell much more about it. It comes with several marks I'm posting right away. http://la-valia.wallinside.com/fotos/1399404999207005075.jpeg Marks http://la-valia.wallinside.com/fotos/1399405260527536142.jpeg http://la-valia.wallinside.com/fotos/139940538314497726...

Interesting ...

My pleasure, although this is the best I could get. (I read MA and a sort of arrow). Means something special? :)



Thanks again.

Hi, I am tracking down this sterling flatware pattern (teaspoon 9.5 cm length): http://la-valia.wallinside.com/fotos/13962900611030266249.jpeg I found it belongs to Mappin and Webb / England Sheffield (see the mark below). I also read somewhere, that the "M" symbol refers to the manufactur...

Now I see ... well, it could be older than what I thought. Thank you !

I believe it must be from 1950's ... maybe earlier but it doesn't look very old for me.



That's all the marks you can see:

HI all, I have a small souvenir spoon with a sort of palace or cathedral, marked with "AA", mirrored, maybe "AIA" and underneath you can read the word "LION". Notice that it is not a lion figure. Anyway the lion reference pointed me to England but ... do the English mak...

Useful! .. Ty. I'll make my pics smaller. Np.
