Good day I have bought this beautiful silver compact today. I can't find any marks on it but think it may be Persian.

I opt for wavy line. Although I cannot say I have seen many Naples marks, the logic is as follows: if the only difference was wavy vs. straight line, one would expect the utmost care to punch adequate line to make the difference. Therefore, this is wavy line. Regards So few examples to compare the ...

Furthermore, it can be said that the assayer can be Paolo de Blasio or Gennaro Mannara. https://i.postimg.cc/hhpByZQK/argentotto-140-copia.jpg In fact, it is not clear from the photo whether the bar on the N is straight or wavy. Best Amena It is the wavy bar going through the N Groete Jannie

Good evening Another one of today's find. Also thought it was silver plated. After cleaning it had a Naples mark on it. I am not certain of the maker. It looks something like PRETA. Any help will be welcome. Groete Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/B8KLwSvh/20220212-203205.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/S2bXBB2...

Hi JanGroen, Johan Paul WILM is a famous manufacturer - the Prussian Hofjuwelier-and it was made in Berlin.The rooster is actually a bear with the letter K on its back. This is the Wardens mark. K stands for J.C.S.Kessner, 1819-1854. The secondary Assayers mark (Probiermeister) is the B=Ch.F.Deppe,...

Henri Soufflot was the successor of Henri Chenailler in 1884. The bigorne was used 1818 until 1984 according my source. From 1818 to 1984, the French instituted a system whereby they engraved their anvils with insects. In the case of the small anvil used to mark jewelry, they were incised in a zigz...

Good evening, see French Bigorne marks; http://www.silvercollection.it/dictionarybigorne.html Asseblief, Peter. Thanks Peter I saw that but am bit confused as Henri registered his mark in 1884, same year they stopped putting bugs on silver. Does this mean the fork was made in 1884 or before that? J...

Good evening I thought this was a plated spoon but after polishing the marks I thought were base metal showing through disappeared. It is marked with a rooster, B and WILM. I am not sure from where it could be. Dankie Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/PvJVtydS/20220212-185414.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/CZCQ...

The beetle mark

Good evening Got this from a silver plate scratch box today. Turns out to be a 950 silver fork by Henri Soufflot. Any idea what the pattern could be? After cleaning I found a beetle hallmark on it aswell. What does it mean? Dankie Jannie https://i.postimg.cc/HJ7BPnBh/20220212-175949.jpg https://i.po...

Good evening I bought this silver plated cup by Thomas Wilkinson & Sons today. It was used as a trophy by the 4th Rondebosch Boy Scouts from 1914 to 1921.

Good day I just got this Polish plated cup and would like to know more about it. I am not certain what is written on it or how old it could be.

Good day Found this antique plated copper pin dish today. It was made by the Duchess of Sutherland Cripples Guild. It was probably made between 1902 and 1922.
