Guernsey Silver Beaker?

Postby Britannia958 » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:41 am

Hi Forum.

A customer has brought in this small silver beaker for more information. All the marks bar one are rubbed to illegibility. The only clue I have to origin is family history: It was his mother's christening cup when she was in Guernsey circa 1912 and so I was wondering if the maker's mark might be recognised by Channel Island's officionados?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi Jules,

Not from Guernsey, but France.

See: Cesar Tonnelier at: http://www.925-1000.com/fx_cTonnelier.html and http://www.925-1000.com/Ffrench_makers_C.html
