Re: Mark for foreign objects?

This one was difficult and took a collaborative effort, but after some research I believe your tastevin to be authentic. A collector of my acquantance recognized this maker’s mark as one which regularly appears on tastevins, and he had the fortune to recently acquire one. He was able to determine th...

Re: fork&spoon

It sounds like you’re describing the second standard (.800) Minerva mark, so yes, your piece was likely made between 1838 (when the mark was introduced) and 1840 (Mailliot’s death). However, it is possible that his mark was used after 1840 by his widow or some other successor. Different bigornes wer...

Re: fork&spoon

I think I can make out a pellet under and slightly right of the "5" of the guarantee mark, which would indicate the assay office in Valenciennes. Cartier's book only covers Lille through the 18th century; the only reference I know of for Lille post-revolutionary marks is Messaint & Pfi...

Re: French tastevin. Angers, 1759-1761?

Jacob's Orfevres d'Anjou et du Bas Maine agrees with your interpretation of the marks. The maker is Michel Boisnier II (1709-1762), master 1736. The mark is "MB" with a key, a star below the "B".
