Hello everyone, I have a lovely silver combination dip pen and pencil dated from probably early 20th century. Unfortunately the maker's mark is fairly rubbed and does not give anything on the picture. I can decipher C&SC and then it is T or E all in an oval shape. Could any one help? Thanking yo...

Hello, Through the description of the marks you found on this lovely sugar tongs, I doubt it is French because you will not find any marks as 800 because this is already told by the shape of title mark. On the other hand the maker's mark on french silver must be by a law dating back to 1838, in a di...

Dear Patrick, Many thanks for your reply but I doulbt it could be the maker. Normally all these inkwells are dating from end of the XIXth century, beginning of the XX century, and this specific one looks very classical to me. I would see it more being produced on East Coast USA. I hope someone can c...

Hello everyone, Here is an inkwell which is French ( Minerva head ). Could someone help me with the maker and date. The maker's mark looks as a "V" and a "L" on each side of an animal. Cannot say if it is a dog or a mutton or a lion. Here are the pictures. Thanking you in advance...

Dear Mike, Regarding the A1 it is clearly a reference to the quality of the plating. Regarding the date, I really cannot be specific at all as I could not find anything on the dates when GR COLLIS & CO started in operation as well as when Carrington took them over. It is very hard to say if it i...

Dear Matthew, I have the feeling this is Sheffield ( UK ) silverplate. The first mark looks like a crown and this crown was frequently used by the Sheffield producers betseen 1765 and 1825 as a guarrantee of quality . I found this information in Bradbury's book of hallmarks, Sheffield plate makers m...

Dear Mike, for me the is obviously silverplate and the 1805 is probably the design reference. I could find following information which could be interesting for you. Carrington & Co Marks used:- J.B.C, C&Co John Bodman Carrington entered his first mark at Goldsmiths Hall London in 1880. The c...

Many thanks Doos

Hello Everyone, I have an italian inkwell but due to location of the hallmark it is impossible to take a clear picture. The hallmark is a rectangular cartouche in which from left to right there is a star, then Number 22, then "PI". In an oval shape there is the mark for 925 silver. I know this is it...

Hello everyone, This inwell is really lovely. I presume it is bristish silver plate and I would be very grateful if some one could help telling me who the maker is. Thanking you in advance Best Regards Myriam http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/frenchie_myriam/inkwells/paintedcrate/encrier.jpg ht...

Hello there, Normally if it is crystal of this age, it should be a little bit yellowish in colour as the content of tin was different than today which makes it very white.

I concur, it is a gorgeous piece
