NAPKIN RING IDENTIFICATION

[herringcover]

HAD PURCHASED A GROUPING OF NAPKIN RINGS FROM A NAVAL RETIREE WHO SAID THE ITEMS WERE FROM NAVAL VESSELS WHICH VISITED THE PORT OF HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA. THIS WEB SITE IS AN INCREDIBLE USEFUL TOOL. THE MARKINGS : CRESCENT MOON, CROWN, 800 AND LETTER S IN A CIRCLE. NEED HELP TO IDENTIFY MAKER AND AGE. ALL INFO APPRECIATED. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/ ... 0_0714.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/ ... 0_0718.jpg

halfmoon and crown 800 (after 1884) is german silver, the makers mark S in a circle stands for: W. Schwechten Silberwarenfabrik Berlin, which I think does no longer exist.
