Any ideas on the hallmarks on my plate? Hanau?
Thoughts on this?
Re: Any ideas on the hallmarks on my plate? Hanau?
The mark next to the crowned G, it could be a distorted Belgian import and duty mark, the Gothic E in a double circle for large work. The mark does not give any guarantee of a precious metal standard of fineness. This mark has been used on metal with a 250/000 minimum gold or silver content as a duty mark. this mark was destined for all imported, unmarked and invalid marked objects of foreign, national and unknown origin. Used Kingdom of Belgium 1832-1869.
