Thanks Phil,

That's most helpful. I had assumed it would be continental without ruling out all UK options first.

Hi, Can anyone help identify this large 'KS' mark on the reverse of a piece of Art Nouveau silver?



Thanks in advance,
Tom.

Thank you also.

Thank you very much for your fast and very informative reply.

Hello,
Can anyone shed any light on these marks which appear on the rim of small, rather crudely made, goblet which I presume to be a Jewish Kiddish Cup?



Thanks,
Tom.

Hi Ben,
A bit of googling shows a 'Jerger Jewelers' at 130 S. Broad Street, Thomasville, GA 31792, USA, phone: +1 229.226.4034.
Their motto is: 'The trusted name for diamonds and fine jewelry since 1857' so they have been around long enough to have made your buckle.
It's not the commonest of names ...

Hi,
Can anyone shed any light on these marks on a marrow scoop: 'IB' - ? - 'Q' - Thistle?







Thanks,
Tom.

Hi Leslie,
Sorry if this is dissapointing but your items are most likely made of pewter and not silver. I have similar spoons as per photos. I suspect they are reproductions of shipwrecked 'pirate' items recovered from wrecks and sold as souvenirs in a museum shop in Jamaica.

Hi silverport,
Thanks for confirming the inscription is Portuguese and thanks for jogging my memory regarding the '14=875/1000'. This is the old 'Loth' standard of the Germans and Austro Hungarians. You have given me scope for further research.
Thanks,
Tom.

Hi,
That has the look of a Finnish mark to me:

Hi,
Can anyone identify these marks on an apparently silver goblet which has the following Spanish or Portugese inscription: 'Ao Club de Regatas 6 de Janeiro 1875 Transportes Urbanos'. It stands 7 1/2" (19cm) in height.

Nothing among danish silversmiths. But there is a norwegian mark that has a sertain similarity - though no exact match. But similar mark for Hannibal Holm in Larvik he was born 1739 and living in Larvik before 1773. in 1789 no business registret for him and in 1800 on the 7th of June he dies.

I have pair of 1775 dated silver tea-tongs / sugar nips which have a 'HH within a heart' mark. I am reliably informed that, stylistically, these are likely to be of Scandinavian origin and am seeking help in identifying the maker. Any suggestions?
Tom.

Ooops!!

Sorry if this is old news but I couldn't find any reference to this in the 'links' page or by searching.

The Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh have produced a searchable database of the records of all silver makers registered at the Edinburgh Assay Office since records began ...

Thanks for your confirmation.
Regards,
Tom.

Hi JAKJO,
Thanks for your quick and highly informative response. I also appreciate the link - I am sure that will prove very useful in the future.
Kind regards,
Tom.

I would be very greatful if someone could help me identify the marks around the foot of this little 12cm high goblet. Could the crowned 'C' be a French date letter for 1719?

It looks to me like it is intended to be wall mounted and is most likely a holy water stoop.

Hi,
Does anyone know what this? It appears to be a base or stand of some kind. It measures 23cms in diameter (inc handles) and weighs 284gms. Hallmarks are J. Dickson & Son, Sheffield, 1860~61.
Thanks in anticipation,
Tom.
