Re: German Tea Set marked Sterling Silver 925 Handarbeit
Hi MkatP and welcome to the forum.
As the images in the original post are now lost it would be useful and appropriate if you could show us (embedded) images of your tea set and its marks. Please start a new topic to do so; you can refer back to this one for context.

Re: Spoon 3 from London
I agree 100% with Fishless's assessment of the maker and date - William Fearn, 1774. Note that the picture of the hallmark has the date letter and lion passant upside down. Here is my exemplar of a 1774 hallmark for comparison:

Re: Engelhard London Hallmark?
Yes, your bar has a London hallmark. The date letter "c" is for 2002 and the "duty mark" is actually a special commemorative mark for the Queen's Golden Jubilee (50th anniversary of her succession to the throne). SALd is the sponsor's mark showing who submitted it for assay. This sponsor is not ...

Re: Mystery spoon maker JP from 1900s
I have not found this mark in any of my references. However near-identical marks were used by John Pinches Ltd with London hallmarks from the mid 20th century (I have seen one with a 1948 hallmark). John Pinches himself registered a JP mark in 1897 and in 1912 (the date of your hallmark) is listed ...

Re: Is this Chester table ware
Hi and welcome to the forum
You are almost correct - only the date is wrong (although the spelling of the silver standard is "sterling"). Chester dates feature 2 instances of this script B. Yours is 1902.

Re: 18k gold cuff links (Birmingham?)
I should have said that I agree with your assessment that it is a Birmingham mark. Scratched marks of this sort are often thought to be inventory marks of some sort.

Re: 18k gold cuff links (Birmingham?)
Hi and welcome to the forum
I think that we are looking here at a lower case "w" date letter for the assay year 1921/22. AH&Co is not known to me and doesn't appear in any of my references.

From the laurel wreath decoration it looks as if it was made with the intention of being awarded but without any sort of personal engraving your question cannot be answered.

Re: Silver Medal
Your fob medal has a Dublin sterling silver hallmark. The symbol which you couldn't make out is the date letter X in gothic-style lettering. This is the code for the assay year 1939/40. The maker's/sponsor's mark JMCo is that of the somewhat unimaginatively named Jewellery & Metal Manufacturing Co ...

Re: Small Knife in Case
Assuming that the hexagonal end of the knife fits back into the case making it into a handle I would say it's just a small penknife - handbag size?

Re: Wire Cruet Set: Two Makers
L&TP is L & T Powell whose Birmingham mark was registered April 1919. I have seen one previous example of this mark which had a 1926 hallmark so I think your date letter is lower case v for 1920. CW is Charles Wilkes and the spoon is dated 1901 so not the spoon which came with the cruet - if there ...
