Birmingham Date mark

Post by shub33 »

Can someone please help me determine the the date letter m please? My guess is 1886? I can’t find anything for the maker’s mark, JH. I would love any info. Thanks in advance for looking.

I reckon 1886 too.

There are several possibilities for JH, but I favour Joseph Hawkins, chain & locket maker, Albion Street, Birmingham. He registered an apparently identical mark at Chester in 1885, but I have no evidence that he also registered at Birmingham.
