Re: Unknown makers mark on arts and crafts ladle

The goldsmiths replied to my query...which was Uber fast.
They state the makers mark is
“F.A for Freda Aumonier who registered a mark in 1931”
Now time to research her...

Re: Silver bangle with mystery 900 mark

Many thanks to both of you I will follow up on the Turkish and possibly Greek sources...I believe the bangle to be relatively old from the perspective of its almost blackened appearance and the fact it was owned by the same person as the other piece dated 1937 from Egypt but that does not automatica...

Re: Silver fillagree bracelet mystery marks

I have just been searching and worked out the piece is Egyptian with a finesse mark then the cat mark and the date letter L for 1936/37 so that’s a mystery I have managed to solve myself but adds some info to the board.

Silver bangle with mystery 900 mark

Hi Board Another marked piece that I’m not able to find. The piece is beautifully made and the fastening as well as having a safety chain is threaded thus creating a screw lock something I have never seen on a bracelet. The mark appears to be back to back Ks with 900 underneath. Any help appreciated...
