Good evening Thank you both for your comments. David-Anderson produced really nice works. What would be the best to describe such dish? Would it be a salt tray or more likely a pin dish? Still trying to find a similar yellow/orange one on the internet. This color reminds me a lot of an indicator lig...

Good evening I have bought this small silver and enamel dish today. It is made by DAVID-ANDERSEN NORWAY but I cant' find this specific mark. Are their a way to date this piece and find out whose design it may be? It is 8cm in diameter and 2cm high. Any other information of this lovely piece are welc...

Could this be by Patrick Mavros? Do you think that this is indeed 958 silver or could it just be a model number?

Good day Trev

Good evening
Here is a better picture of the mark. It tested positive for silver. It is 45mm x 20mm.
What other countries will use 958 silver other than United Kingdom?

Good afternoon
My latest find is a solid silver owl marked 958. Cant figure out the makers mark in triangle. Owl weights 78g.
Thanks

Thank you all for the comments.
It is a teaspoon and weighs about 15 grams. The deer (takbok) looks perfect from all sides so it must be a very good maker.

Thank you again for help with these. Would be good to start a group for tribal, unmarked objects. Style and patterns can be used to help identify these objects.

Good Day Found this spoon online. Sellers thought it was plated but I thought the quality was too high. With some cleaning and research I found it to be a 835 Dutch silver spoon by Koninklijke Van Kempen & Begeer. Any idea what the age would be of this spoon? Dankie Jannie https://www.925-1000.c...

It is not plated but don't contain any hallmarks, only initials of the makers (K & S)Would this be a sterling medal without hallmarks or do one get coin silver medals in Scotland? Any i...

Good Day

Thanks

I think the name Pirates CC = Pirates Cricket Club (Johannesburg) which I believe has evolved into Pirates Sports Club and is still operating.

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply. Were not certain what the weird letters after Pirates were.

Good day I have bought this lid online. It is 145mm long, 50mm at widest point and15mm high. I think it is made by G Loveridge & Co in 1907 but I cant find similar embossed items by him.What object would it have come off? Would it have been a silver or glass bottom? Dankie Jannie https://www.925...
