Hello
I have a signet ring which sadly I cannot date exactly as the date letter has been removed from resizing/wear. please could someone identify the maker/sponsor and thus give me the dates of operation or history of the maker?

Regards

Simon

Hello

I'm not shure: John Hill; mark registered in February 1901.

Source: Kenneth Crisp Jones, Gen.Ed., »The Silversmiths of Birmingham and their Marks: 1750-1980« p. 351 3rd row bottom.

ISBN 7198 0002 1

More then mark's picture, name and date aren't mentioned there - so it must be hold in mind actually, that they maybe haven't made rings?

Kind regards silverport

Hello Silverport
This is a most likely possibility, thank you.
