Goodness! Thanks Phil, or should I say Poirot! 😉

Thank you.
Yes, the maker will a bit of a lottery I think

Hi Phil
Yes I initially thought B for 1757, but it just didn't look like the one on your site.
Thank you 👍

Unable to figure out the date mark on what I believe is a pounce pot. Help with maker as well please
Thanks

Could be Constantine & Floyd Ltd, Birmingham

John

Thanks Trev,
I'd seen the references to John Laughlin before, but nothing concrete.
Thanks so much for yr research
Regards
John

No date mark but unable to find the maker's mark on this Irish Chalice.
TIA
John

Looks like it could be William Collings

Could anyone please define the difference between these two items? Many have said they are one and the same My interpretation- Bleeding Bowl is shallow (ish) cushion shaped bowl with single handle & Porringer - two handled lipped deep bowl (I had thought for containing a porridge like substance?...

Just a stab in the dark - Henry Bailey?

John

Thanks so much for your input & tolerance guys.
Best regards
John
N.B. Phil.. I was tomnik on your wonderful site

MGArgent - thank you
I had honestly forgotten I had asked the same question on that site.
Sincere apologies, admin, if this is a double up.
Regards
John

Really unsure of the date mark, be grateful for any help.
Also, confirmation of the maker's mark please, possibly Nathaniel Locke
Thanks in advance

I think I answered this correctly for you in another forum ;)

John

'JD & S' are marks for James Deakin & Son of Sheffield. The 'EP' means it's electroplated.
The last one is the trade mark (a desk bell)

John

Certainly bears a resemblance, many thanks.
The style of the tongs seems earlier than the dates that Day worked, which threw me off.
Thanks again

Double stamp?

Sugar tongs with marks into the bowl. I see the sterling mark, but unable to make out the possible makers mark.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

I realise that the site isn't too keen on links, however I saw this with reference to this mark.
Scroll down to LC.

Ah, many thanks Trev.
So Jersey silver.
(Don't know what happened to picture size! Finger trouble here i guess)
