Coffee Pot Hallmark query

Postby kojakthetortoise » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:04 am

Hi, See photos. The hallmark is on the bottom of the coffee pot. The middle three symbols would suggest Frederick Derry of Birmingham but the first symbol I am not sure does, but certainly the last symbol is not like the hallmark photo I found for Frederick Derry. Anyone have any insight as to the maker (and thus approx year)? I think Frederick Derry is 1860's to 1891.

Welcome to the forum.

Definitely Frederick Derry. Silverplate marks often change slightly over the years.
