Hello, looks like the "Aurora" pattern introduced in 1933. Best wishes, Bahner
.

Hello, maker is Pausch & Pohl from Berlin, notorious for making cutlery using very thin silver foil. The mark was first used around 1886, looks like the company was dissolved around 1905. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, most likely Phillipp Nössel from Neustadt/Haardt, Palatine region of Germany. Nössel died in 1860. "13" is for 812,50/1000 fine. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, not Caviar (to small for that) but salt or spices. Made in Central Europe, probably around 1850/60, they have someting of a Hanau or early Pforzheim touch. As to the mark - maker ? city ? - no clue, I found no match. Best wishes, Bahner

Pat You are right, Your's is the correct explanation. Regards, Bahner

Hello, the unidentified AWS is not Werner but the mark of August Wellner Söhne, founded in 1854, city of Aue, Germany. The mark was used on silver cutlery and tableware between ca. 1928 and ca. 1938. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, the Assmann mark is different. It is an "A" crossed by a sort of hammer or pole, not by the letter "S". They made buttons, medals, insignia etc., dont believe they ever made silver cutlery or tableware. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, according to Hagan (1994) this is the "Amaryllis" pattern by Shiebler. Both Hagan and Rainwater mention makers Polhemus, Coles & Wood, whose patterns were aquired by Shiebler. Rainwater lists a very similar mark under Shiebler. On this piece here the mark seems incomplete. Am I ...

Hello, what makes You think this is Sterling ? The marks do not look like Dutch silver marks. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, paper like that was used in Germany ca. 1900-1940 for photo albums, mostly to imitate leather. Probably a later addition by an owner to prevent scratches on tables. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, Argit from Paris is the maker, the mark with the bee on the right hand side its Argit's mark. As to the mark on the left hand side - no clue, maybe a retailer's mark ? Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, did some checking. There was a maker A. Schöllkopf, owner Oskar Schöllkopf, around 1910/1914 in Pforzheim. No longer listed in 1919. His mark was very much like this "AS". So I rather think this might be the one. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, this pattern was first produced around 1890, don't know when they stopped production. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, on page 259 of the English language edition of this book she writes that "A. Strobl" (not Ströbl) may be a mistake for Max Strobl. That does not make sense one way or another. First this mark is obviously not "M S", second Max Strobl's mark is documented and very differen...

Hello, the P is for Plet (plated). Can't help with the maker, sorry. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, the pattern is nr. 2700 by Franz Bahner, Düsseldorf. Fishforks would look different. Bahner used marks like this on pieces for export. Best wishes, Bahner (no relative, though)

Hello, looks like spoons for cream ("Sahnelöffel") and like pattern 20200 of Koch und Bergfeld, Bremen. Not a 100 % sure, as the pics are a little fuzzy on my screen. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, for a German mark this is very unusual. I agree that the letter "l" is rather a "B". In that case it reads "c'est bien", which in French means "this is good". Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, the lower row looks like pseudo marks from Hanau, possibly Schleissner and possibly of recent make. The Augsburg "pyr" is different from the one used here. The upper row to me (but I don't know much about this) looks like recent English import marks. Best wishes, Bahner

Hello, Greiffenberg is one possibility (the mark comes also in a perfect circle), possible are also small towns from the Pomerania region of Germany (Stargard, Stolp). They used the same mark in a circle. Without a makers mark it is not possible to be more exact. I would date this around 1850/1860. ...
