Hi,

Not hallmarks I'm afraid, only maker's marks as the item is silver plated.

See Atkin Brothers at: http://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_A2.html

Ok thanks Trev, interesting nonetheless.
Any clues as to what the 1783 means?
I had previously assumed it to be the date.

Hi David,

No, the '1783' would be an internal factory mark, probably relating to a model, batch or order number.

Oh ok thanks for that, always learning here!
While I have you here would you mind looking at the next 5 images (a vanity mirror and cigarette case- I think?)
Again I'm unsure what markings denote silver from silver plated items?
Thanks again Trev for your attention, very much appreciated.

Hi David,

You need to start two separate new topics for these items. Place both of them in the 'Birmingham Hallmarks' section of the forum.
