AEW Lidded silver dish

Post by nikka0202 »

Hi,
I believe that this piece may be Andrew Ellicott Warner coin silver, but I am just not sure because I could not find a hallmark of his that looks like this.
Any thoughts or help appreciated!
Thank you.
Victoria

Yes, that is Warner's mark. The queen's head/D is a Baltimore standard mark

Thank you both!
I was confused because the marks that I found spelled out Warner.
I appreciate your expertise!
Happy Holidays.

:::::: THAT"S A MAN, BABY! (Austin Powers Reference). :::::

:::::: Other reference believe it to be the bust of a man. ::::

:::::: Is it accurate to say that in 1815 the mark of a man's bust facing right in a cut corner rectangle was added......And also when LeRoy Atkinson was promoted to assay officer in 1824 a change in the appearance of the assay marks occurred which included the disappearance of the "bust" mark of a man's head facing right? ::::::::::::

:::::: If that's true then the man's bust can be used to date Baltimore silver to the period of time between 1815 and 1824? :::::::
