Hi Kate-

What is the piece you have by the way, that was made between 1892 to 1898? Just curious, it may help to narrow it down further. Which makers marks are the ones on your whatever?

Best- Byron

Hi-

Is that the only marks it has on it anywhere? A picture sure would help a bunch. Doesn't sound like a silver, silverplate or even pewter mark, not sure though. Take a better look around it and see what else may be there.

Hi Dean-

Sorry-

Forgot to say W.M Rogers Mfg co., also on the bottom of the page. Or is this just the retailer? Could it be made by "Watrous mfg co"?

Sorry forgot the letters you see are "Hecho En" = made in, it is somehow missing the "Mexico" part to say Hecho en Mexico, made in Mexico.

Hello Kate- This is taken from hartfordhistory.net Despite the great interest in Barbour silver - many people own it, apparently - information on its history is sketchy. Here's what researchers at the Connecticut Historical Society uncovered: In 1881 or 1882, Samuel Barbour moved from Chicago to New...

Hi Gordon- Thank you for posting the additional photos, after seeing these, I am inclined to agree with Trev and say St. Matthew, or possibly St. Peter. The rest of them are holding items that would show even with the wear due to there relative size. Anyway, here is a site that I would think would k...

Hi G-

Can you post a picture showing his right arm from the side? the picture of his back looks like he is carrying a carpenters square, which would be St. Jude.

I just couldnt stand it and had to figure out what the Maltese Cross actualy stands for. I found out the eight points of the cross stand for: Loyalty Piety Frankness Bravery Glory and honour Contempt of death Helpfulness towards the poor and the sick Respect for the church I found this very interest...

Hi David- I forgot to add that I missed your comment about Erik magnussen, couldnt see the forrest for the trees I guess, and went blindly into my Alps spiel, I dont know. I havent seen his mark before, could you point me in the right direction so I can see for myself? I would greatly appreciate it....

Kerangoumar- After a WHOLE BUNCH of web browsing, I know know that the "GJLd" is in fact "George Jensen Ld." the famous silver smiths retail shops, this does not however bring us any closer to the actual maker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Jensen" onclick="window.open(this....

I,m sorry- With its finess already being defined as .917 I should have looked for another picture of a "Maltese Cross" other than the one I had. I meant to just describe it further than four arrow heads is all. A Maltese Cross could have been used by anyone to describe something significan...
