Could anyone chime in on the hallmark for this sterling bonbon basket? I searched high and low and was not able to find anything myself. Maybe RR stands for a railway? Thank you in advance for looking. https://i.postimg.cc/TPTPW2Fv/fullsizeoutput_2fd0.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/gcs1Yzq6/fullsizeoutput...

Thank you, Steve, Peter, and Traintime for your input. The measurements are as follows - 5" overall. The bowl is 2" in length and 1 3/4" in width. The handle is 3". I think maybe it is more of a cream ladle as Peter suggested or a dessert spoon. Here is another side profile pictu...

Also if you had to date the spoon where would you place it? Thank you again for your help.

Thank you, Steve, you are a wealth of information. I appreciate your time. You are correct with the uncrowned lion. The spoon measures 5".

Cheers,
Shannon

Oops... here is another pic.

Could anyone please eyeball this repoussé spoon and help me identify the possible TG maker? Also, I often second guess British date marks. I think it most resembles 1791/1792. What does the 4th symbol reresent? It may be difficult to see with all the patina but this is how it shows: (1) TG, (2) lion...

Could anyone chime in on the maker's mark on this sterling vermeil doe/fawn Brooch?

Does anyone recognize this pictorial mark on my sterling pinwheel/flower pendant? It resembles a sparkling gem. Thank you in adavance for looking.

Hi there! I am trying to research the makers mark on these sterling cufflinks. They are marked KGK 925 and Pat. (patent) near the pivot link. Some of my research comes up as Kapittaan Gabriel Kulta. I am not so certain because there are no other marks indicating it is Finnish Sterling. https://s19.p...

Definitely. Silver polish and a fair amount of elbow grease should take care of that though. Buttercup has been an especially popular pattern. Also the H in the diamond on the back of the bowl is for heavy which means your spoons weigh more than the regular spoons. I am learning something new every...

In anyone's opinion, is the silver oxidized?

Thank you so much!

Apparently Galt & Bro.(business established in 1802 by James Galt in Alexandria. The firm became M.W. Galt & Bro (1847), M.W. Galt & Bro & Co (1879), Galt & Bro (1892) and Galt & Bro Inc in 1934) did not carry a lot of silverware patterns. I am finding it difficult to identif...

Thank you AG!

Could anyone please help me date this Gorham Sterling baby cup? I have researched online but come away uncertain. Is it from 1970ish? The Hallmark is very light. I can not find anything with 1116 pattern either. Thank you for any help! https://s28.postimg.org/f8ipr2ka5/IMG_8576.jpg https://s19.posti...

Here is the from of the brooch as well.

A clearer shot of the "makers?" mark would be helpful. Also, without a "Sterling" or ".925" mark visible here, can you state how you definitively ascertained the metals content (chemical test, etc.)? That content changes the whole search parameters. Hello again. I did ...

Hello Bahner,

I hadn't known that I received a response to this inquiry. Thank you very much for the info that you gave me. I did research and you are correct.

Kind regards,
