This is a beautiful, sterling cuff bracelet signed W. Silvers. Does anyone know anything about this artist? Is this a Navajo piece? Not marked Sterling. Is it older than 1960s? Any help is appreciated and thanks. Silvercrown http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/jamielee1/303.jpg http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/jam...

Tom, thanks. I really thought that first letter was an "O", but can see now that it's a not very clear "D". I appreciate the information.

I have checked the list for Danish maker's mark and cannot find this one. Does anyone recognize the mark? In case you cannot read it clearly, the mark is OGH inside an oval. Thanks as always.

This little 830S solje brooch is signed with a maker's mark that appears to be a butterfly. Can anyone help identify the mark? Thanks so much. Silvercrown http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/jamielee1/798.jpg http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/jamielee1/798-1.jpg http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/jamielee1/798-2.jpg

Glass markers, I never thought of that. Anyone else have a different idea? Please let me know and thanks, jewelcat, for sharing your thoughts.

There are eight of these little, Sterling objects. They are sharp on one end and have a decorative top. The shaft is a bamboo design with a little hook on the shaft. They are from Japan. The overall length is 2 5/8". We thought maybe they were cheese picks, but are confused by the little hooks....

A friend has told me that she has seen these described as "hankie holders". The hankie is held by the little pincers at the bottom and the loop end is hung from a chatelaine. Just thought I'd pass this info along.

Hi, I appreciate your response. I have checked all the Scandinavian resources with no luck. Silvercrown

This was acquired in a box lot at an auction. The design, in case it is not clear, is two holly leaves and a holly berry. The piece is 2 3/4" long. It is marked 830S. Does anyone know what this object is? Thanks, as always!

I acquired this little 830S silver piece in a box lot at an auction. The maker's mark is FKS, with the K being dominant. The design, in case it is not clear, is two holly leaves and a holly berry. The piece is 2 3/4" long. Does anyone recognize the mark? Thanks, as always. http://m1.freeshare.u...

Cheryl, thanks for the moral support! At least now I feel I was half right!

This object looks like a letter opener, but it has a very sharp point. It is 10 1/8" long. It is English Sterling, hallmarked for Sheffield with a date mark for 1911/1912. The maker is Atkins Bros. Any idea what this is? Thank! http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/jamielee1/038.jpg http://img.inkfrog.com...

Thanks to all of you. Olive tongs makes sense. Whatever, it's a very pretty piece with the lovely enamel work. I truly appreciate all your help. Thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge.
