Re: Concertina Argentium 935 Cigarette Case NEED HELP INDENTIFYING HALLMARK & ORIGIN
Just to be clear…technically there is no “hallmark” found here. That is to say, no authorized authority seems to be regulating the application of marks related to a fineness standard. More like self regulation by the maker. Mark 1 is likely just a maker mark of initials. It is incuse gothic letters ...

Re: Please help identify
And of course, that’s only a wild guess at this point lacking many images and not exactly matching descriptions like rectangular surrounds. So this could be way off still.

Re: Please help identify
Marks relate (?) to Spanish .750 with “Comet” for second standard rather than the “Shooting Star” of first fineness:

Re: Old Sheffield Plate Cake Stand Unknown Maker
Cleaning up mark 2 would be helpful here. The location of where the stand surfaced might tell a lot as a SHEFFIELD stamp can either be an export/import mark before actual country of origin was required, or it might be part of the larger scam that was carried on by American manufacturers to give fals...

Re: Uknown mark on tea pot
Back to square 1….Why would the crown be sideways? Why does the crown seem to have pips rather than sections in the lower half? Could it be that this is not a crown at all? This leads to… Is that first mark even a crescent, or could it be a partial of something else? Further, If a shield contained t...

Re: Uknown mark on tea pot
In the more common form, the third of three like objects goes to the base of the shield. This is completely reversed, assuming the objects are the same. That would have to be the key to identifying it, unless this were not a shield at all.

Skip all that..it’s not a match here. So, it just might be a real town mark.

Re: Unknown Maker Coin Silver(?) Sugar Spoon
Concentrate on the presumed wholesaler marks as such: Star/????/Eagle. [Actually, a “mullet of six points”, but we’re cutting it to a simple form.] How do you read those marks, which might necessitate cleaning out first? The problem with the maker or retailer mark is that it might also be “D. D. Loc...

Wm. ROGERS (cartouche) alone
Lacking the additional stamps normally indicating coin silver, this standard maker’s mark with the slightly set-out “S” at the tail end begs the question of whether it is solid silver. (A side view shows the gauge of metal narrows as it moves along the handle outwards.) https://i.postimg.cc/zfXwpsKM...
