Birmingham "BRO" silver makers mark

Post by tochnia »

Hello,

I'm struggling to find who is maker of this silver piece.

I read this as "BRO" but nothing found on any website for it.

There is very similar stamp from London too:

Any help will be appreciated.
Both items with stamps above are with faux tortoiseshell, so very likely maker have specialized in such items.

The top one is a worn example of one of Adie Brothers' marks, possibly this one:

The other one could be any of a number of marks. It is likely that both the first part of the mark and a final "S" have been worn away by polishing so XXX Brothers is possible; for example Miller Brothers or Sydenham Brothers:
