sterling sliver pocket watch
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2012 11:34 am
Hello all,
Can someone please tell me what these marks are on this sterling silver pocket watch? Please see attached pictures
My own uninitiated findings aren't conclusive, but I think the following:
date letter "d" is for 1852?
The lion passant is for British sterling silver
together with the shield would indicate York, but the shield has some kind of crossed swords or other over it so not sure what that is.
Can't find a make "HR" for York in that period.
The spherical chain attachment has a "TB" on one side and the other has some worn down hallmarks you can see it the pictures attached.
I'd be grateful for any information as its all Dutch to me!
Many thanks
Brim
