Hello, that "could not have been made before date" may still be useful to closer date your servers. Sheffield's Aaron Hadfield did have more than 1 registered mark, varying with pellets and cartouche shape. The "silvermakersmarks.co.uk" website shows 4/5 marks for the concern, so...

Hello, I think the composite 2 advert image in my earlier post may disappear. Here it is reposted.



As you view the image, the advert to left is from 1899 and the advert to the right is 1920.

How big is this item? Could a coloured cord, for when not in use, have gone through the hole? Dudley & Cox were near the end of a long line silversmiths & jewellers, but were also involved in the decoration of Navel Swords. Are all the markings part of the decorative tradition? The following...

Spencer & Co The business of George Kenning was established in 1860 and around 1862 became Kenning & McKiernan before reverting to their original name. They were restyled to George Kenning & Son c.1895, and they acquired Spencer & Co in 1947, becoming George Kenning & Spencer Lt...

Sorry I was never great with IT. No computers at school.

Thank you Peter your comments and information. I thought the marks could be interesting, only sorry I was not more clever with them myself. The lower case "r" for 1876 would fit better in context. Thank you Trev also for your additions. I guessed the second image could be a death notice bu...

Hello my Dutch Forum friends, I think these mark may be could be associated with the Widow Helweg clan. I just saved this image a while ago hoping to make an identification. I had thought it was the same makers mark for both spoons, but I do not think the orientation of the anchor is the same in bot...

Hello again, I noted a bit of information that I think had not been mentioned in this thread. Jays sometimes used their own tradename on some of the electroplated ware they sold. They used the name "Majestic Plate". This is a double image and although the lower example mark is a bit blurre...

Hello, here is a spoon image I have. Fortunately it calls itself "WMF" and it has the flightless bird on as well, be that Emu, Ostrich or Rhea.

Jay, Richard Attenborough & Co Ltd (routinely known as "Jays") 142 & 144, Oxford Street, London This was a company with multiple facets to its business as shown by this box lid advert and evidently established in 1796. This "established in 1796" likely relates to an &quo...

Hello, it was a good while ago when I bought a spoon I really wanted, but 2 more spoons marked as shown below came with it. I put researching the electroplate spoons' history and manufacturer on the back burner for while, but the as often occurs with me, the flame went out. https://live.staticflickr...

Hello, unfortunately a crown mark is very popular with electroplating concerns so the maker could be one of several. To me it looks a bit like the Alpha Plate mark of Viners of Sheffield, England. Had I picked the jug up at a British carboot sale, Viners would have come into my head. They are in our...

Thank you Peter and Aguest for the identification confirmation and insightful comments. Aguest, I won't complain too much about the mis-use of the sifters as if they were in A1 condition they would unlikely be in my ownership. Additionally, in the past, I know I have ruined good screwdrivers by usin...

Hello my Dutch silver friends, I am hoping this is an interesting set of marks for you. I have bought a pair of maybe (you may know better) sifter spoons and one has what looks like a historic repair (opinions please). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52343562728_6f33968838_c.jpg Spoons are about...

Hello "Jjhigdon" welcome to our Forum. Your beverage set is likely to be silver plated. The 4 marks in a row look like pseudo hallmarks. They are stamped on plated items to look like official guaranteed silver standard hallmarks and suggest the item is solid silver when it is not. English ...

Thank you Phil for your time on research for my question. I have looked again at the on line directories that I can access but could not find "Samuel Joseph". Sadly, the important directories (around 1901) when the Birmingham silver mark was registered, do not appear to be readily availabl...
