Hello Forum.

I recently purchased a large scent silver bottle around 7" long. The import marks are for London 1897. The importer is JS. Can anyone identify that maker here or should I try the British forum?

What I'd really like to know though is the maker. I am making the assumption these are Hanau Pseudo Hallmarks. My apologies for the limited view. The "strings" do get in the way.













Many thanks,

Ian T

Hi Ian,

The British importer registered in London J.S for John George Smith, See: http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Make ... JU.html#JS


The pseudo marks could be for Neresheimer. See https://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_hanau_marks_01.html #[s513] and S[s520]

Peter,

Thank you, excellent spot. I looked through this page and couldn't make out any matches and clearly needed to look closer. I do think you may be right.

Trev,

Thank you for pointing me to this string. Fascinating articles and clips and the information on John George Smith especially.
