Hi let me show you different Jezler marks. First, a mark from the late 1800, about 1880: https://abload.de/img/img_53903nkln.jpg This mark is about the same age, 1880 to 1900: https://abload.de/img/img_5394ifkf0.jpg Then here a nice small mark from around 1900 to 1920 in Art Nouveau style: https://a...

So, both spoons are from Geneva. The spoon with PA makers mark is from Paul Aberle, 1825-1888, in Geneva since 1847. On the 3eme mark: Geneva was one of the few Swiss towns with a system to control the fineness of silver alloys used. The marking system from 1815 to 1881 was as follows: 1st standard ...

Yes, 3rd standard, 0.800 Silver. As I wrote, I follow up later when I have access to the books.

Hi I am currently away from my books, so just a first shot: The spoon on the top is Swiss, ETTINER is Vettiner, the mark of Antoine-Charles Vettiner, 1818-1866, from Geneva. JJ is an early Jezler (Schaffhausen) mark, here probably only as a retailer. Date them around 1850 to 1860. More to follow. Re...

Sorry
Zeppelin Airship....

Hi
This is a Zeppeloin Airship Cocktail shaker and traveling bar, made in the late 1920ies or early 1930ies.
Most probably not sterling, but silver plated. But no disappointment. This is a great item. Such objects are highly collectible. Very nice item.

I am under the impression they are from 1979, not 1879. The marking system with crown, moon and finness in thousands was introduced 1888. The date indication is 76, very likely excluding an event in 1876 for which they were used. Could be a jubilee referring to 1876, maybe 25th anniversery or so, th...

As stated in your posts, we are dealing here with improper use of the items. If you ask, why the items are used improperly, the answers go towards two different phenomena. First: The items are not properly engineered. In many items the joint between the cup and the handle is the weakest point. If yo...

Looking at the two Pictures left an right as a whole, not dealing with Details, I notice the aureola, the rays. The top triumphant over the Bottom items. Right on the Bottom a crown and basilisks, representing monarchy, despotism, over which science and artisans are triumphant. Left, the keg represe...

Hi I still think this is not Ferdinand I of Austria but his Father, Francis I (II). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_II,_Holy_Roman_Emperor My reasoning is as follows: When the case was made Ferdinand was alive. In 1837 it was fashionable to depict contemporary people in an mythological Environ...

All thank you for your contribution and the clarification on the missing mark. Makes sense. Item closed. Let me spin off from the original topic, asking on the duties due in various times and countries. How much was the tax on silver in London in the late 17hunderts? And in France in the Ancien Regi...

I have these 6 small spoons, 12 grams each. They have the Sterling lion, a date letter A, a bust (George III?) and a maker mark, first letter capital G, second letter most probably also capital G. City mark is missing. I assume they are from London, GG for George Gray and A for 1796. What do you thi...

Sorry, something went wrong writing this, here again:

I have this bedouin jewelery 30 years now. It is time to find out some information on it. Can you give me some basic information about it? How old is it? Where is it from? I think it consist of older parts, the band, and newer additions, the chain and the side pieces. Do you agree? And foremost, wha...

Hi
DS is David II. Schelhaas, (1822 - 1897), he is the seller, having a shop from 1861 - 1897.
Regards, Jörg

Hi
I am still not with my books, so the "DS" has to wait.
To your question on fineness: Yes, most probably 0.800 silver. When Stähli-Rebmann was in business 13 lot was already phased out.
Regards, Jörg

Hi
Yes, Switzerland, Zurich.
The flower mark is from Johann Jakob Stähli-Rebmann, from Zürich, in Business from 1886 to 1920.
We had the mark already here:

I check on DS later when I have access to the books.

Hi Sebastian The marking system in Geneva from 1815 to 1881 was as follows: 1st standard (950) an eagle head 2nd standard (875) a horse head 3rd standard (800) a lions head. Your man with mustache is a lion's head, there should be a small 3 on top of it. Finess 800. It looks your two items have diff...

Hi, this is Geneva, Switzerland, 19th century.
Later, once I have access to the books, I may be able to name the maker.
