Re: Silver plate identification help.
Okay Trev, I will try that but first I have to get to a laptop.. I did this off my phone and for some reason flicker doesn't offer the BB code by way of Android. Go figure.

Silver plate identification help.
Curious about the marks on this particular piece of plate, and what it was used for. Hopefully the links below work but if they don't, post on here that fact and I'll see what I can do about uploading them some other way.

Re: 1793 Tankard
Thanks folks!
A question though, why an "I" if his first name was James? It's a cool little tankard... I imagine it was a child's cup actually because I said it was a half pint but it's not. I think it's probably more like 8 oz. volume or so.

1793 Tankard
A small one.... 1/2 pint? anyway, I can't find anything that would do for a maker on this. The mark is almost obliterated but, you can make out what would be the "v" in the top of an (serifed) "M" for the second letter. Only other thing I can think of for the second letter might ...

Re: Slag glass nude ashtray? Maker's mark?
So now, searching this particular item... I find NONE that are faceted! Leads me to believe mine might be a copy as noted in AG20212's post. This one I found (below) in fact, looks to have more detail of, the... "backside" of (presumably) the female figure! https://i.pinimg.com/236x/5c/34/...

Re: Slag glass nude ashtray? Maker's mark?
Ha ha! Thanks Trev for letting me stick around on this and thanks to the other posters for the help w/id! It's a very nice piece and quite detailed. I've known of/seen repros of pressed glass items before but I can say for sure the "cutting" (faceting) is genuine, very clean... not reprodu...

Slag glass nude ashtray? Maker's mark?
Hopefully Dognose won't kick this off too quickly.... I have no idea where else I might even start but on this forum, I find there's many people on that know a little bit about EVERYTHING! 4.5x2.5 inches... "looks like" slag glass. Hand faceted, and a maker's mark (a symbol of sorts actual...

Ok I see now... Thanks Trev! So it's an imported item hence the various extra markings.

To big for a master salt?
Or so it looks to me. this is a cast piece by Elly Isaac Miller (1897?), the lady said when she bought it at a yard sale in the 70's the person from whom it came told her the spoon went w/it. The blue glass bowl appears to have been "blown in place"; is that possible? The spoon has a diffe...

A new acquisition... but who made it?
"CF" is the maker... can't find'em in our list. The year "looks like" (to me that is) 1821? And it's a conglomeration of motifs: I love the boar's head but think the finial is perhaps off of another piece? A nice pot none the less no? You should have seen it before I went to work...

Re: A Mystery With a Difference
No... but if you've ever read "The Lincoln Letter" by William Martin, it's no surprise that a lot of cloak and dagger stuff went on in Washington and there'bouts back around the time of the Civil war. A great book, really fun to read! http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-lincoln-letter-will...

What is this? the little hollow "sphere" down at the bottom is slotted/unsoldered so as to fit a business card in? or was that a mistake? (to leave it unsoldered?). Matches? cigs? Hmmmm. https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3850/33610336005_9dc5948762_z.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3931/3361...

Re: Unknown silversmith's mark.
Yes, it's engraved... w/modern pantograph style engraving so no clues there! It's badly damaged... I recommended "the silver owl" in New Mexico. The owner has a link to this thread so I'll ask: any tips on good repair people for this thin, holloware?

Unknown silversmith's mark.
A customer brought this in and wanted it repaired. I tried to find a match for the maker w/no luck. Anyone know this mark? and if so, when the maker was active? The stamp reads "Geo. J. Sharp Jr." compliments and regards, mitch https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/277/32666494831_901b853954_z.jpg...

But not a mystery for my fellow silver nuts here on the forum! So can someone tell me "what" this is for? I realize it's a wedding item/gift of some sort but what did you measure or make with it? A special drink? Obviously there are two distinct measures here or so I'm thinking. The little...
