Hello.
I believe those are British silverplate marks.
Just my speculation, but I think your set of marks was used by John Jenkins of Sheffield England (1889-1893). Formerly of Jenkins & Evans (1886-1888).
The firm became Jenkins & Timm around 1893.

An advertisement from 1902, that suggests, perhaps, that Jenkins & Timm were going through a rough patch at that time.
John Culme in his 'Directory of Gold & Silversmiths' has it that they converted to a limited liability company in 1912.
Jenkins & Timm also entered marks at the London Assay Office.

Re: silver candlesticks
Hello, I noticed some photos in this post of silver plate marks belonging to “Jenkins and Timm” and I have a couple of others to add. I did a bit of research on small plated spoon with the marks shown below.

The “A” no doubt is the usual story of a company just letting a buyer know how good the company thinks the quality of their own electroplating is, but the crossed sword and arrow intrigued me. I finally found my image on “silvercollection.it” in their pictorial silver plate marks section. The surprise is that it is not in “our” website pictorial marks section because after I found it was the “Jenkins and Timm” trademark I found the company listed and illustrated with “us”. I have below another “Jenkins and Timm” mark, this with gothic style lettering while the one on our site has conventional style lettering.

However I have now had a minor rethink about the “J&T” pictorial mark. It likely is a representation of a sword and old style “feather quill pen”. Well that’s what I think now. Anyone know more?
Yours
