And what do you mean with „fake“ ?
And it is not Hanau silver ...

Re: Small jug from Berlin?

Brilliant!! :)

B = Ch. F. Deppe, 1842 — 1847

That matches the others dates perfectly.

Very interesting that a part of the family went to the States.

If you are absolutely ...

Re: Silver bowl with coin, Dutch marks?

Thank you both for your answers.

This bowl is beautifully made, nice workmanship ...
