I need help with a German silver mark on salt cellar. It looks like a rooster. Can this be an Ilmenau mark?

Thanks!
Jack

I need a better image of the marks.

I have only one image of Ilmenau ( 1719 Jeremias Balthasar Wilhelmi)


Meiningen in the 2nd half of 19. Cent.


probably Frankfurt a.d. Oder (ca. 1730)

Frankfurt a.d. Oder ca. 1780

Frankfurt a.d. Oder ca. 1850

Frankfurt a.d. Oder 2nd half oft 19. Cent.

Here are better images.

I thank You, it is better ( but not perfect - the contrast could be better ;-))

Ilmenau have not da cock - it is a hen (from the earl of Henneberg (hen-hill))
On your image it looks like a cock - like Frankfurt a.d. Oder ?
I do not find the makersmark in the Scheffler-book.

I will ask an expert.

there is a little chance, that Your piece is from Ohlau (Olavia)


the hallmark of Ohlau was (L) for silver with 11 & 12 Loth,

and Hintze has wrote, in 1716 for silver with 14 Loth the hallmark was a cock, but
there is not known any piece from Ohlau with a cock as hallmark.

Hallo jackk
I think I was wrong. I find in the book of Wolfgang Scheffler "Goldschmiede an Main und Neckar" the Hallmark of Kitzingen (#61a) (Unterfranken in Bawaria). The hallmark is a k under a bridge. The Maker is probably no.31 Georg Ludwig Langenha(h)n (long cock) *1727, Master ca. 1737.
