Good evening. I am at a loss about this small (2 5/8” wide) hinged lidded silver box. It has a ?ram in flowers? design on the lid that is punched in from the underside; numerous soldered repairs along the edges of the bottom, and the date? 1694 engraved on the bottom with a script FH like a Danish a...

Thanks very much, I appreciate you comments.

This is a good pair of candlesticks, 13.5" tall, one has 4 marks as shown, with the maker obscured; the other has just the Sterling London and date mark, 1768, I believe. The maker marks website leads me to think of Jeremich King, Thomas Whipham, James Wilks, or less likely John Faux or John Ri...

My elderly friend inherited her grandmother’s silver, and the boxes contained some great stuff, including these several wine tasters, or tastevin, but I am challenged by the French Marks.

This little cup (I am calling it a shot cup, like a shot glass - is that proper?) came with the 1733 London Mug queried a day or so ago, so it i...

I am seeking the maker for this mug, tankard, or cann (what name do folks prefer?) This vessel is 4 inches tall, 9 ozt, with some obscure marks on the thumb place of the scroll handle, beginning with M. There is a terrific coat of arms showing 3 fleur de lis in a slanted picket-fence enclosure on an...
