Yes, I believe the candle sticks to be German and before 1886.


The town mark could be a crowned eagle above 13 (lot). The candle sticks are open and not filled or weighted.

Peter.

No you are right. The D is the town mark for Dessau and the maker's mark could be for Christoph Hieronymus Jacob Richter. Active in Dessau around 1769-1790. Again it is important to see an image of the object and
for Theodrich to confirm.

Peter.

Hi Ohota,
No problem if you do not know how to embedded images. Just sent us the link with images of the object and we will embedded the images for you. Theo' s suspend to solve this riddle is "killing" me.
Cheers,

Peter.

Google search tarnished silver, silver sulphide; If you have any objects made from silver or plated with silver, you know that the bright, shiny surface of silver gradually darkens and becomes less shiny.

Hi, as I understood the sulfide is transferred to the aluminium foil, not the silverand. The silver stays on the object. Indeed the silver shine could become a bit dull. I have done it once on a little silver box, with a thick black tarnish of silver sulfide. I first tried a good silver polish witho...

Hi, For me, this is the first time I see the Cyprus domestic silver hallmarks used 1995 to date not stamped but printed, on a piece of paper and glued at the back of a wooden framework. If CAO stands for Cyprus Assay Office it is the sponsor's mark. As of 1995, it is the responsibility of the maker ...
