Deer or stag or other animal?

[OeneDoevendans]

Dear all,

A photo recognition tool said that the picture below was a lion passant, but it looks like a deer or stag to me. The other symbols are also explained vaguely. Does anyone have an idea on origin and creation date for these markings!


Thanks in advance, Oene

Btw here is the object the stamps are on

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Please post larger images of, at least, the marks.

Hi,

They are one of this sequence of platers' marks, often found with a variety of accompanying initials:













It may be that of a manufacturer of blanks who was supplying silver platers and marked the pieces with their initials.

The below is the mark of Thomas Wilkinson, the fourth mark being his famous Pelican device. His former manufactory, the Pelican Works, is a well known landmark at Birmingham. Thomas Wilkinson was in business from 1832 until 1932.

Wow, it’s indeed the exact same as that ER mark. Do you have more information on that?

Your item is almost certainly the product of Thomas Wilkinson & Co. of Birmingham.
