Perfume bottle top marks

Postby jtrothaars » Thu Aug 03, 2006 5:22 pm

I looked through the guide and understand that this is sterling. However, I'm reading the date code as "London 1814," yet there is no duty mark. I must be interpreting something wrong. Could someone help out a newbie?

One of the entire bottle and one close-up of the marks:

Duty mark stopped 1st May 1890. Mark is for London 1894-5.
Best wishes, Mike.

Thanks for the quick response!

Now that I look at the encyclopedia, I understand the mistake I made.

Thanks again!
