Hi,

does anybody know the maker's mark A.C.B. as shown on these cufflinks? I guess it to be Danish, but I'm not sure. It's not in the list with the Danish makers, and I tried to search with Google, but ACB has too many results.

.. keeps on being suspenseful, then. But the Braunschweig city mark looks very alike, too, doesn't it?

IGR would be Johann Georg Renner

I will try to find out something about him. Is it sure that he had IGR as a mark?

Thanks!

Hi,

thanks a lot so far. It hasn't been me who wrote that with the Christmas mark. This was a one year old post of somebody else and his pictures are gone. I just reactivated this post a few days ago because my cufflinks seem to show related marks.
Hopeajaloste Oy is a good advice. I'm still ...

Hi again,

just want to give a short report. The heraldry experts have found out that the crest is very probably the crest of some Mr Hoinckhusen of Mecklenburg. He has been ennobled in September 1716. So everything seems to fit very well together!

Best regards

Hi,

the GK Handarbeit mark (the 10th from above) is Georg Kramer (Fischland).

Best regards

... not even a COUNT's ... I meant

That's quite interesting. There's a Wikipedia site with different types of crowns

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangkrone

- considering those pictures, it doesn't even seem to be a duke's crown but one of the lower aristocracy without a title.

I've posted the crest on a German heraldry board ...

Great - thanks again, JAKJO. The marks look very similar to me, too.
How come you think the crest to be the crest of a count of all aristocrats? Sorry, I assuredly know less of heraldry than you.

Hi again,

this is a photo of the 2nd candlestand

and this is a photo of the crest engraved in both of them

Still happy about any further hints.

Kind regards

Hi

Great - many thanks, Tosten!

Thanks a lot so far! The mark could also read IGB, it's not so well recognizable on the photo.

but the top - is that not after 1750?
I have no idea regarding marks - but the top?


Hi hose_dk: that is perfectly possible because the second candlestand goes without that top without having any ...

Hi,

thanks! I did but I could not find a matching one. That animal mark seems to be a lion. There are lots of lions in German city marks but none exactly like this.

Hi,

this is my third and my last question for today. I've got a brooch which I think is Danish or perhaps Norwegian. It has very clear hallmarks as shown on the picture. Can anyone give some help concerning maker and age of the piece?

Hi,

I've got a pair of candlestands, I guess they date from 19th century. I also GUESS they are German or Austrian, but I don't know. I hardly know anything about them, but I'm quite sure they are silver. Has anybody any help concerning those hallmarks?

Hi,

I've got cufflinks hallmarked like this, too, and just the same question who HGL is. So I renew this post.





Many thanks for any hint!
