Thanks to you all for your help. AG2012, I have had a good look with a loupe, I cant make out what it is but it does not look like a letter.

Thank you both very much for the information. So these were made in Paris and subsequently imported to Rome and marked there?

Hi

Does anyone know the origin of these marks? They were difficult to photograph as they are so small.

Many Thanks
Martin

Thank you very much for that, most appreciated.

Hi

I was hoping someone may recognise the marks on this pair of sugar tongs with a maker's mark W&B. I am thinking possibly Chinese or American, any help greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Martin

These marks are possibly those of Joseph Wolstenholme, if so he started producing silver plate from 1850 up until some time in the 1860s.

Hi This tablespoon is hallmarked for London 1754, unfortunately the makers mark is distorted, probably by a damaged punch or perhaps from work on the stem after the mark was struck. Its a bit of a long shot but I was hoping there might be something that someone may be able to pick up on that could p...

Thanks for the reply, there are certainly some similarities but I am not totally convinced.

Hi

This small silver cup has just one mark which is on the base. I can't really make much of it, it may be initials or something else, does anybody recognise it?

Many Thanks
Martin

Hi

I have this fiddle pattern sauce ladle, which is of a substantial gauge of silver and is marked with a maker's name H.N.D only.
Does anybody have any ideas on it's origin please?

Many Thanks
Martin

You also have-

Making Spoon - sort of a long teaspoon, used to stir the leaves whilst in the teapot.

Scruple Spoon - used to add a small amount of holy water into the Communion wine.

There are probably many others.

Martin

Thank you very much for this comprehensive information.

Martin

Thanks for the reply, I have been looking online to find a possible maker but with no luck so far.

Martin

That's great, thank you very much.

Hi

Could anybody help me with the country of origin and or maker of this box please?

Many Thanks
Martin

Thanks for the reply, I think its certainly a contender.

Martin

Hi

I am assuming this snuff spoon is a London piece but I could be wrong. Only the makers mark has remained visible, can anybody recognise who it may be?

Many Thanks
Martin

Thanks Peter, I will do some digging around Hanau marks.

Martin

I think it might be a punch bowl cup, they would latch on around the punch bowl rim.

Hi

I have this silver and enamel cigarette case that I initially thought was Austrian. After searching I can't seem to find a match, can someone point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks
