please help for maker's mark JE

Post by frenchie_myriam »

Hi there,

This inkwell has been assayed in London in 1922 but I cannot find who is the silversmith. It reads JE in an oval shape. The picture is not very clear because I could not take the one inside the lid.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

There was a JE in an oval punch - William Hilton Benson, John Benson, George Walter Benson - trading as "J Eastham" of Liverpool as watchcase makers, dated 1877 to 1915. Might be wrong though as the mark is unclear.

Regards

Dear Tongtwister, I was told it might be Joseph ELDRIDGE. Would you agree ?

Best Regards
Myriam

Hi Miriam,

I would defer to your other information. They are more likely to be right than me!

Hi Myriam & TT,
Most likely candidate is JOHN Eldridge, ( JE in oval, no periods) mark entered in London 1899.
Best, Tom
