Hello,

Your piece was imported in London in 1902 by this T.H. Silversmith I cannot trace. Looking at the other hallmarks it could be french but I would not bet on it. Best Regards. Myriam

Bonsoir Susan,

I totally agree with Bahner and I can complete the information by telling that Louis Coignet was operating from his shop located 20 rue Barbette in Paris and his maker's mark is registered from 1893 to 1928. Hope this help. Best Regards. Myriam

Dear Steve, because of the size this looks like a snuff box to me. This was mainly a man's item where was kept the tobacco which they used to snuff.

Hope this could help

P.S. I fully agree with Silvy for the origin and maker.

Hello, I have this dip pen and the hallmarks are puzzling me. I guess it is continental Europe origin but cannot find out.

Hello Jason, Crab mark shows that it is 800 french silver. If you could tell me in the losange mark which is the letter on the left side of the rose, I can tell you who the maker can be and then narrow down the date as they are many possibilities with an M on the right handside of the rose. Best Reg...

HELLO EVERYONE, I AM NOT 100 % SURE OF MY FINDINGS BUT I COULD TRACE THE L MARK IN MY RAINWATER AS BEING WARWICK STERLING CO, PROVIDENCE RI USA ACTIVE IN 1914.

Dear Patrick, What I find very difficult with american hallmarks on dip pens is that due to the size of the dip pen, most of the silversmiths had shortened marks which do not seems to be listed anywhere. For exemple FAIRCHILD who has a fairly large hallmark for other pieces is simply using an F on d...

Hello Andy and Bahner, This forum is really great because your mail exchange has just solved an enigma because I have another dip pen with the mark you have on the buckle so now I know I have 2 pieces by Martin Mayer. Do not hesitate if you need some help with french silver. It would be my pleasure ...

So many thanks Bahner, I suspected it was not TRUNCK because the mark was not exactly similar to the one depicted in the German marks.

Have a nice day
Best Regards
Myriam
