Hello.
I believe those are British silverplate marks.
Just my speculation, but I think your set of marks was used by John Jenkins of Sheffield England (1889-1893). Formerly of Jenkins & Evans (1886-1888).
The firm became Jenkins & Timm around 1893.

You're welcome.
Here is a scan from the book "The Identification and Dating of Sheffield Electroplated Wares 1843-1943" by E.R. Matheau-Raven.
The bottom picture, in my earlier post, is an old picture of mine.
The top picture is an enhancement of your picture.

An advertisement from 1902, that suggests, perhaps, that Jenkins & Timm were going through a rough patch at that time.
John Culme in his
'Directory of Gold & Silversmiths' has it that they converted to a limited liability company in 1912.
Jenkins & Timm also entered marks at the London Assay Office.

Hello, I noticed some photos in this post of silver plate marks belonging to “Jenkins and Timm” and I have a couple of others to add. I did a bit of research on small plated spoon with the marks shown below.

The “A” no doubt is the usual story of a company just letting a buyer know how good the company thinks the quality of their own electroplating is, but the crossed sword and arrow intrigued me. I finally found my image on “silvercollection.it” in their pictorial silver plate marks section. The surprise is that it is not in “our” website pictorial marks section because after I found it was the “Jenkins and Timm” trademark I found the company listed and illustrated with “us”. I have below another “Jenkins and Timm” mark, this with gothic style lettering while the one on our site has conventional style lettering.

However I have now had a minor rethink about the “J&T” pictorial mark. It likely is a representation of a sword and old style “feather quill pen”. Well that’s what I think now. Anyone know more?
Yours
