Any help at all would be appreciated with identification of this vinaigrette. The hallmark appears to be an A with the letters LP or IP alongside. It seems to be porcelain with a gilt silver vinny.

Thanks! That info is incredible. Much appreciated.

Thanks. I have never seen Swedish silver previously. Is there any source of maker's names anywhere?

Any help appreciated with identifying anything on this box. I suspect that it's German.

Thanks.

Thanks all. Coker it is. Nice find for the collection!

Any possibility that it's Ebenezer Coker?

I took these with a micro lens. I doubt that I could get any better images...let's see.

A delightful waiter from 1757. I can't seem to make out the maker's mark. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Amazing what a Q-tip and and some silver foam can do...



I see:

Stephen Noad; Lion; Crowned Leopard; 1815 and Flat Bottomed George?
.

Stephen Noad - smallworker (Mark No 2597) mark 30 June 1806 - more likely -
No NS marks look likely - never trust the assay office to punch the same way as the silversmith!

Thanks! I did look at the marks inverted but the N seems wrong in the serif font used. I suspect that it's a very unusual ...

A very interesting "snuffbox" form (er I think...)!

London 1815. The maker is SN. I can't find that mark anywhere. Any ideas?

TIA - Cliff

This is a snuff box with a single mark inside. I think that it's Hanau. Any help appreciated.

I have absolutely no idea of the provenance of this spoon. Any help would be appreciated.

This is an 18K gold pocket watch. Weighs about 12 ounces! Originally sold by JW Benson, 25 Old Bond Street. Not sure about the year or maker.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks all! 1978 it is. I strongly suspect an American manufacturer from the STERLING925 stamp.
