Hello,
This silver tray bears marks by Gorham and retailer marks for Theodore B. Starr. I have been told that they are cleverly faked marks.
I just wonder if anyone has an opinion on if the marks do look to be fake? I am not an expert but to me they seem right.
Thank you for any assistance ...

Thank you Peter! I am grateful for your insight and expertise.
Take Care!

Good Morning,
I had one of the salt cellars tested by a local assayer using EDXRF. The report came back with the pieces testing as 87.04% AG or silver.
I wonder if they might by Hanau silver marks, however I remain confused!
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thank you again!

Hello Peter,
Thank you for your speedy reply.
I wonder if you might be able to direct me as to where to look for this mark (or should I move this over to the silverplate section?).
With you advice, I searched about the animal skin mark and cannot find any references.
Would you have an idea of where ...

Dear Dr Adrien von Ferscht,

I appreciate greatly your expertise!

Hello,
I am seeking help on identifying the hallmarks on this salt cellar.
I found a listing of what appear to be similar pieces online and they said they thought they might be Hanau.
Thank you for any expertise and assistance.

Hello,
I am seeking help to identify the maker/origin of this piece.
It had a tag in it saying that it was American, but I am unsure.
The mark is a lion rampant and 925.
Thank you for taking a look!

Hi,
I have this covered tureen and thought it was silverplate, until I started researching the mark... now
I believe it may be coin silver but I am unsure.
Any help and history is appreciated! The Gorham history is a bit confusing as far as marks. This piece also has like a six pointed sun/star mark ...

Thank you both!
I was confused because the marks that I found spelled out Warner.
I appreciate your expertise!
Happy Holidays.

Hi,
I believe that this piece may be Andrew Ellicott Warner coin silver, but I am just not sure because I could not find a hallmark of his that looks like this.
Any thoughts or help appreciated!
Thank you.

Hello!
I am working on some German silver and have found myself confused between actual city marks and Hanau silver marks. They seem to be similar.
I have scoured the forum but have a few items that I am not sure on.
At first I thought this double beaker contained the Ausburg city mark, I cannot ...

Thank you all! I am excited to begin researching this!
I really appreciate all of your expertise!

Hello,
Thank you for your assistance! I hope that Theo can help. There are no other marks found on the piece, should I still take additional photos?

Hi

I have searched the guide and forum. I believe that this may be a Glasgow hallmark, due to the lion, however I am not sure and there is not alot on Glasgow makers.
I appreciate any assistance identifying the mark.

Kind Regards,
Victoria
