Hi there, I just registered and first I'd like to thank everyone for this wonderful site, I reference it almost daily and just now can't find an answer on my own.

I have a brooch with a hallmark I'm not sure about; there are 3 symbols, the first is smeared but looks to be a crown, the second is a shield/crest, and the third is a lion but its in an oval instead of the other common outlines. Can anyone tell me what these are please? Thank you!



Thank you so much!

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

It's American, a product of the Watson Company. It's not a hallmark, but a maker's mark only.

Thank you kindly, Trev. I did find an article on that after I posted, but the shield in the middle was odd compared to the others so I wanted to be sure. And I will educate myself on hallmarks vs maker's marks.
