Re: Help with maker and age
the 24 should be the weight of the silver. What ig the weight in gram?
Re: Help with maker and age
351 gram ?
Re: Help with maker and age
I think you weigt is incorrect.
The correct weight is 352,9 gram.
The case is that silver = money. And items was used. And treasured. But they also represented value.
Therefor the silver smith made a note on the item. He wrote the weight in lod. Lod was the mesurement. 1 lod = 14,7 gram and 24 lod = 352,9 gram.
That is adding a new dimension to your item. Or did you already know?

Here is an example of mine
It says 13 lod 1 qvint.
Weight 191 gram.
13 Lod = 191,2 gram
Kvint (0,00500 kg)
Lod silver (0,0147 kg)
Lod (0,01563 kg)

My conversion chart says one German (Prussian) Loth is 14,62 gram.
https://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/h ... =loth&v=24
Therefore 24 Loth is 350.8 gram.Not important difference, though.

Preussen conversion is not the right one either.
Wiki quate: In August 1714, George Elector of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick–Lüneburg (King George I) ascended to the British throne. Between then and 1866, when the town became Prussian during the Austro-Prussian War as part of the province of Hanover, Celle was a possession of the British Hanoverian line.

But you are right - lod should be the same, but no definite standard. I used the Danish and that was not correct, but the one I had.
However the lod is almost the same, as it represented value. But many local measurements make it difficult.
