Hello! I would appreciate any help I could get to identify where this flask set came from, the age, etc. Thank you so much and God bless!

Hello! I bought this for my father-in-law for Christmas and I would so much like to be able to let him know at least where this might be from. The lettering looks Chinese. I am guessing the silver 950 means it is sterling? Thanks so much for your attempts! God bless - kwalleye

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

I can add very little except to say that your item is likely to be Japanese. They often use the odd expression '950-Sterling' which is something of a misnomer as Sterling = 925/1000, so your item is better than Sterling.

Hello Trev - Thank you very much for your response. At least I have a morsel to tell my father-in-law when I give him his Christmas gift. God bless! Karen

P. S. If you come up with anything else, I check back frequently. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Hello.

I posted your marks on another board where they have a few people who can read Chinese and Japanese.
I requested help reading Japanese marks. Here is the response I got:
Last mark stands for "pure silver".
Marks on your middle picture read "North sea electric company".
