Hello again, here are 2 more concerns that have attributed work with the hammer & crozier top like mark on their item.

Lenain & Fils, 16 rue Dupetit-Thouars, Paris, 1920-1929

Hello, you might need to think out of the box a little more. The bird appears to be a hawk or an owl. The other pictorial mark, the hammer and possibly the top of a bishops crook is shown on line on an item by Emile Puiforcat (Jean Puiforcat) and some other makers work. Could be a place of manufactu...

29 Stall Street, Bath, Somerset. Watchmaker /Jewellers Shop I have copied this image of a Jeweller and Silversmiths shop from another post on the Forum. http://www.925-1000.com/td/f/Images/Marsh-UD.jpg The picture proclaims “H&R Marsh” is the owner of this shop but the date of the image is unkn...

.................. John Barnett Mennie Tyneside Watchmaker There are already 2 posts in this section of the Forum with references to J.B.Mennie, watchmaker Jeweller of Newcastle. One relates to the very early 1900’s. https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=107335#p107335 and the other relates...

Thank you Scorpio for your comments. My experience with Dublin silver is slight and I think this ladle increased my Dublin collection by 25%. You have suggested it is a worn example of the "rippled" edge cartouche mark and I have looked again with my lens but do think it is that version of...

Hello, this is the set of hallmarks on a Dublin “soup” ladle (32 centimetres long) that I recently acquired. The marks lack a duty mark so must be prior to 1807 and although rubbed I believe there is a date letter A for 1797 with possible maker mark “J.K”, maybe James Keating (or A.N.Other). On the ...

Hello, it is fairly difficult to read the manufacturer's marks with the 2nd image you have uploaded. The first 4 marks are in gothic style lettering not always the easiest to read even with a crisp image. The last letter, in a different shaped cartouche, looks like an "A" and is likely to ...

Thank you very much JayT for the quick information. I checked the Forum for posts relating to Louis Lenain. I see there were a father and son using the same mark and with my spoon marked with Minerva’s head the earliest date for it would be 1838. There is the note that this spoon’s “LL” mark was can...

Hello, I recently bought a French spoon, about 14 centimetres long. It intrigued me, as it appeared to carry a square, Christofle mark, and also what appears to me a typical lozenge French silversmith’s mark. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53973064877_6f7a81fbdc_h.jpg The square, Christofle mar...

Hello, after “Shaver’s” post noting the” Pluro” marked German razor, an “SL” dealer/ retailer confirmed the search area for me and Samuel Lesser and Samuel Lesser & Sons became my speculative candidate for using that ”Pluro” mark. We have got 2 Forum references on that concern. One relates to a ...

Hello, want to use the "Birmingham & Sheffield Warehouses" image for another post, and thought this image is easier to view.

Thank you JayT. I have been around and around reference sections but our reference section does not confirm the good news you are telling me. I could not find a reference to the mark used 1838-1878 and the caption above the 1878 onwards images only says 1878-1973 which leaves "you" hanging...

Hello, I need a little clarification regarding the “Mercury” head, French export mark that was used 1838/40 -1878. I think this is it, on a piece of hollowware I recently bought. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53977966951_855ca77393_z.jpg With the later 1878 –1973 export silver mark there is a ...

Hello NewAddiction, that practically ground out central mark, looked a bit familiar to me. This is speculation and other members of the Forum will have other views but could it be the figural mark showing Bishop Absalon. It was present on a couple of Danish silver plated spoons I purchased some time...

Thank you Sasropakis for your research to confirm the Mahony name's connection to my spoon. I think I need to look 1 or 2 generations back from the names offered by Fairbairn. My spoon's hallmark has no duty mark so must be prior to 1807 and although rubbed I have a date of 1797 with possible maker ...

Thank you Sasropakis for your reply, and thank you for using the alternative "fleur de lis" name. I had meant to incorporate it myself in my post. The name that I had turned up was "Mahony" and associated "kin". It was definitely from the suggested area but corroboratio...

........ Gilbert Ross ................ Academy Street, Inverness, and Invergordon https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53940054937_0148714c69_h.jpg There is already a very similar image from a knife blade in this section of the Forum. The images show cutlery retailed by an ironmonger Gilbert Ross at ...

Hello Oliver, if you have a look at the web site "silvermakersmarks", there in the Chester entry for William Neale you will see that among the items made by that "silversmiths", dressing table sets is noted.

Hello, I recently bought a Dublin hallmarked spoon with a nice crest on the finial. It is worn but appears as an armoured bent left arm with a sword adorned with a flor de lis. The base could be a coronet? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53929408616_81424d116d_z.jpg I did find a family name that...

Hello, possibly this image has marks that may have similarities to the missing images and is different from Dognose's image in the other referenced post.



Does anyone know anything more since 2019?
