Hi Folks, With the help of all the great posts (crawl crawl !! ) on here and pointers to the brill sites available I haven't had to beg for info for a while. But I'm stuck, this doesn't look like a silverplate mark to me. The stamping seems quality impress, but it doesn't look like a standard hallma...
Hi Pat, Thanks for that, perhaps in that case I should leave any reference to a date out !! Can't find much about F. Webb. P. Webb and Mappin & Webb (of course) but unfortunately I don't think there's any link ! Never mind I'll keep looking someone somewhere is bound to have written them up. Tha...
Pat to the rescue again ! Hello. I'd been everywhere looking for this and you're right no one has it listed that I could find. I do try not to post unless I'm really stumped so I must be learning something ! I'd sort of figured out a date of around 1920 ish so that sounds about right - how does that...
Hi Pat, That was brilliant thanks when I dug further it looks as if you were right, the mark is very similar to that of the Sheffield silversmith William Briggs 1875 - 1922. Once again, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Kind regards, Nicky
Hello All, I'm trying to find the Maker and approx Date of this nice Apostle teaspoon and tong set. I've been onto Selezione and cannot find a similar one I hope it's clear enough but it read's - A1 in a horizontal oval, then what I'd call a georgian cross in a rhombus then EPNS in individual square...
"Viners Marks used:- EV Trademark:- a five point crown A large Sheffield based out-fit founded in 1900 and the most well-known Sheffield manufacturer from the 1930’s to 60’s. Much of their flatware is fairly average in quality, but they were innovative in producing new patterns and followed trends ...
Thanks Pat, I'll go and do some further research on that. It's often really helpful to have a name to put in Google you seem to get far further. Thanks again, Nicky
Hi Miles, thanks for the congratulations, I'm so pleased with myself ! Do you mean E Viners as in went on to become Viners ? Or am I barking up the wrong blackberry bush altogether ?!! I'm glad you're stuck inside on this lovely evening too, makes me feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one ...

I've been trying to upload photos for ages and at last it seems to have worked ! Ok, this is a Makers/Silversmiths mark which I can't find anywhere and...
Hi Miles, sorry for not getting back to you last night. I will get to grips with hosting and post, I'll try later today. Georgian spoons, your pockets are obviously deeper than mine at the moment ! I will have a look at yours, thanks, Nicky
That's fab, yep you're right it is the 1915. How come the Wigfull is so Arts & Crafts and yet the Fletcher is so Art Nouveau, is it just an overlap of times/fashions, because they are very different ? I presume this is your interest and you don't mind all these stupid questions. I see a lot of s...
Hi Miles, thank you so much, I'm sure you're right even down to the shape of the stamp the rounded edges of the CWF and the very precise HW. exactly. The date letter on both is the same, it is very similar to the 1915, the back to back ornate f's. I really must get to grips with the photo hosting it...
Hello, I have two sets of spoons which I'm looking for a makers name on, wonder if anyone can help..... The first has a swirl design to the handle with an illegible number after the bowl on the front of the stem. Makers mark CWF The second is what looks like an arts and crafts spoon, a simple trefid...
