Hi all, thought I would share some interesting pieces connected with the the Various Assay Offices, that I have come across. Firstly is this rather special 25 years long service award from the Birmingham Assay office to George Pressdee. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com...

Hi,
Can anyone help identify the maker of this cream Jug with hallmarks of London 1836?





Any help appreciated,

Hi all! Wondering if anybody could help with the maker on this hallmark? https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg The only 'maybe' I can come up with is Adam Ross after finishing his apprenticeship before moving to Canada. Any help/ opinions are appreciated. Best...

How about a money clip trev?

Thanks Trev,
Helpful and knowledgeable as always.
Kind regards

Now u say I think it could be Trev, that part of the mark is rubbed. There is a definite pellet between the letters. If i'm reading your thinking - B Lumsden? I convinced myself the fiddle pattern of the spoon would put it outside the dates I thought he worked.

Rhodri

Hi All,
Wondering if anybody has seen this mark before?




Any Help with Maker or likely origin would be greatly appreciated!

I am guessing unlikely but Trev's link above mentions another Constable with these initials. Would Margaret Constable possibly had her own mark after taking over Williams Business?

Thanks Trev,
I'd searched high and low!
All the best
Rhodri
