Re: georgian cow creamer

Thanks for the help, I am going to assume it is legit unless anyone else wants to chime in. I posted a second George III cow creamer in another thread in this London sub-forum. It's the more traditional George III cow creamer. If anyone has thoughts on that one as well I'd love to hear. I'm really ...

cow creamer 1762 hallmarks

Hello,
I posted another more recent George III cow creamer last week but I was curious about this creamer as well. If anyone can tell me more about the marks and whether they look authentic. This design is obviously much more usual for the period than the other cow creamer. How often is George III ...

Re: georgian cow creamer

I see the B as well now. Interesting. I guess thats likely the makers mark. Thats a start. Hard to see with all the hair in that area. It's interesting the hair was sanded off first for the other areas before they were stamped but not for this area. Is this normal for assay offices to do on textured ...

Re: georgian cow creamer


Hello, is there anything on the lid of the creamer? Detachable parts ought to have some kind of mark on them. A bit like the marks on various parts of a pocket watch case. The marks shown do appear as 1817 marks.

Fishless


Should the lid have the full set of hallmarks? If so no. The lid is ...

Thanks dancula,
What I found weird was there was no makers mark anywhere on it. Seems rather unusual for it to be missing but I am not an expert on British silver.

georgian cow creamer

Is anyone able to help me determine whether these georgian cow creamers have fraudulent hallmarks on a newer piece? I have about 15 years of experience with American silver from the 1880s-modern but have very little experience with earlier or English silver so don't know what to look for and don't ...

George III cow creamer missing makers mark?

Hello,
I have about 10-15 years of experience collecting American silver and to a limited extent modern and victorian British silver and am confident in my collecting of these categories. I have no experience before the mid 1860s. I would like your opinion on a George III cow creamer that is missing ...
