I see what you mean but, taking into account the apparent damage on the hallmark itself, we can also expect to see some damage on the detailed parts of the sponsor's mark. Here, for comparison, is my exemplar of Ward Brothers mark: https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Shared/WBs-WardBros-3.jpg...

I see that you have posted your query in the Birmingham Hallmarks section. This is a Sheffield mark. However CAC is not included in the standard reference for Sheffield marks of the period (the "h" dates it to 1900/01), The Sheffield Assay Office Register by B W Watson. This may be because...

Hi and welcome to the forum. This little brooch is copied from a Viking/Celtic original. It dates from the 20th century and is a souvenir piece. The maker's mark WBs is the mark of Ward Brothers, a well-known maker of such pieces based in Birmingham. They registered this and similar marks in Birming...

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The letters are J T H but I don't think that this electroplater has been identified. Assuming it is English we can date it to before about 1895 as the use of a crown on electroplate was outlawed around that time.

This mark is upside down. It was for a while thought to be the mark of Meneses Orfebres of Madrid but has more recently been identified as most likely the mark of Eton Silver Inc. of Glendale, NY. See https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopi ... 47#p202847.

If it is Mark Willis & Son then they must have registered their mark at Birmingham as well as Sheffield. It was a relatively common practice for marks to be registered at more than one assay office.

I have just noticed that this mark seems identical to one registered at Sheffield in 1875 by Mark Willis, in use there until 1904 and succeeded in 1904 by Mark Willis & Son. The mark has the same square-shaped stop between the letters so there is a strong possibility that the maker of this bowl ...

This is a Birmingham hallmark for the assay year 1906/07. I am unable to identify MW as we don't have comprehensive references for Birmingham sponsors' mark. I note that it also has a Swedish hallmark for 1930.

This is a London hallmark for the assay year 1887/88. The makers, FJL over GL, are Francis James & George Langford in business as the Bristol Goldsmiths Alliance based in Bristol, Somerset.

The number is an internal factory reference number which probably refers to the design. It is certainly not a date. Silber & Fleming, if it is their mark, were in business in the last few decades of the 19th century.

Hi and welcome to the forum. TH/GH is Thomas & George Hayter, a father and son partnership, who registered this mark in 1816. The hallmark is a London mark with the date letter c for 1818/19 and it is quite normal for the town mark to be omitted at this period. This particularly occurs on smalle...

Your vendor must have been confused between Birmingham and London, where the date letter d is indeed 1899, albeit in a completely different punch shape.

The stylised S mark is unlikely to identify any particular person as this is electroplate and it would have been mass-produced without any craftsman's (or woman's) involvement. There is no way of dating it (for now) beyond "20th century".

I have cobbled together a bit of HTML which I hope will help you: https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dat ... -1879.html. Note that this is a temporary page and will be removed after a suitable time has elapsed.

This is a mark of Ellis-Barker Silver Co as they were known in the USA or Barker-Ellis as they were called in the UK. See https://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_E.html.
