Hello, you are probably familiar with the company "Aspreys", the long established prestigious London jewellery and silversmithing concern, whose name is marked on the camel. There are plenty of Forum posts for you to reference if not though. There are a set of official hallmarks, also on the camel ...

Hello, have any of the Forum members needed to use the super informative web site silvermakersmarks.co.uk, run by "Phil", one of our co administrators, very recently, to look up a "M" something in the listing of silversmiths with work hallmarked at Newcastle? If so regular "viewers" likely will have ...

Thank you mikemike33 for that excellent follow on photo. It gives a better chance of attributing the marks on your fork. Trev has suggested a prime candidate for the ownership of the marks and Trev's advert even proclaims electroplated fork manufacture. William Coghill is however better know as a ...

Hello, can I throw a different thought in. George Unite, normally I think Birmingham, but he had a silver marked in London 1864-1916 including many various items. Check "silvermakersmarks" web site. The upstrokes do not appear of the same thickness.

Hello, as you say marked "EP" pretty well confirms an electroplated item. Obviously electroplated on which metal/alloy could decide the items weight. The other marks are of interest to me though. Can you possibly get a crisper image of the marks. Not necessarily bigger, but crisper and maybe ...

Hello, these marks on an electroplated item, appear to me to be to " L T Co" in gothic style. They are unknown to me, but the web site "silvercollection.it" shows similar marks associated with a concern called "L Tobert Co". There is a note, suggesting the concern may not have been manufacturers ...

Hello, I am hoping this image of a cutlery mark that I collected a couple of months ago could illustrate this old 2007 post. Since this "Deep Silver" question was posted huge amounts of associated information has been accrued on the Forum involving Holmes & Edwards. A chunk of it can be found at the ...

Spoon Box Silk, 20 Fore Street, Devonport. Devon

This box silk suggests at least a 50 year history for "Croydon & Son". I dated the spoon in the box to 1906 Sheffield and allowing for the assumption that the spoon and the box ...

Hello again, I have trawled through a couple of Manchester directories with this catch though.

Directory of Manchester & Salford, 1853

Hello, Traintime has set the identification ball rolling, but I want to send it in a different direction. On my first look at the mark I saw "SW" and the web site referenced by Traintime has a slightly clearer version of your set of marks, definitely with "SW" to go with a very similar crown mark ...

Hello, nearly 5 years on and I have come across this same, not well referenced, set of electroplate marks. They were on a normal serving spoon this time.

I wondered if there were anymore views on the Forum regarding the ownership ...

Hello, I believe I have an image of a spoon that could have a relevance for this 2014 post. The image is that of a 10cms long scalloped bowl condiment spoon lacking both guild mark and a date letter. The maker's mark is "I.M", the same mark suggested as on "Niceguy1's" dessert spoons. This condiment ...

After checking some Sheffield trade directories and a Grace's Guide reference, "Austin & Dodson", do not look to me as a good fit as makers of your hollow ware. They have a classification as "Steel Refiners" along with the manufacture of "heavier" items like tools, steels and files. The question I ...

Hello again, "silvercollection.it" has very similar marks listed as from the below concern.

Edward Dodson and William Lawson Austin, active at Cambria Works, 191 Arundel Street, Sheffield, established in 1865.

Hello, do you have an opinion on the mark next to the bigger shield mark? Is it a pictorial mark or a letter mark? AD&Co, or DA&Co looks like the concern, but no British suggestions come imediatly to mind.

Hello, I need to correct myself a little, I have left a final "n" from the end of John Yates trademark's name. It should read "Virginian Silver" as show below in the part transcript of an advert published in the Illustrated Midland News from Saturday 21 May 1870:

YATES'S VIRGINIAN SILVER and ...

It is interesting and also worrying that such a lot of cutlery is attributed to Israel Yudelmann concern but with the such small information trail. He and his Son or Sons have apparently been involved in the distribution of cutlery with mid 19th century styled manufacturers marks on. However if ...

Newspaper adverts relating to Brush & MacDonnell. To the left Dec. 1859 and to the right June 1867. Perhaps underlining the important retailing part of the business.

Hello, an image of a set of pseudo hallmarks, that I had copied some time ago, has just resurfaced from one of my unknown marks folders, so whose marks are they?. The ugly looking, very near hallmarks were taken from a spoon, suggested to be a 19th century London item.

Piper Connection
High Street, Exeter

The city of Exeter in Devon and the surname "Piper" is already mentioned in 3 posts on the Forum. However, it does not appear to be the same "Piper" in all of the 3 posts.
Below is the directory entry that brought my attention to the "Pipers", there being a ...
