Re: London strange hallmarks?

Hi!

Thanks. To make it more confusing...there is no maker's mark (or it is rubbed)

Re: London strange hallmarks?

hi!

Thanks. Yes, my first thought was pseudo, and the style is much more c 1900 art nouveau, then early georgian 1746, right?

Nathaniel Mills. What is it?

Hi! Nathaniel Mills 1857. Is it a pendant vinaigrette? The grille missing? The inside lid is ribbed, is that for striking matches? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XHm5I9E5Bjk/Vi0ZJ6c6gbI/AAAAAAAAAuo/rZqMUb8YQFs/s912-Ic42/nm.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IbiM8wX50jE/Vi0ZJ2mBc0I/AAAAAAAAAu...
