Dear FTJJ,
Thanks for the help. I will put “The Chan Collection” into eBay as a "saved search!" Do you happen to know whether “The Chait Collection of Chinese Export Silver” and “Chinese Export Silver 1785-1885 - Forbes, Kernan, Wilkins” mention the retailer WA? (I would hate to buy a book I don't ...

Dear FTJJ,
Thank you ever so much for sharing your wisdom. I continue to be amazed by how helpful and knowledgeable people I "meet" on the internet can be!
I tried to buy a copy of the book you cited, “Chinese Export Silver - The Chan Collection.” But unfortunately it is out of print and I cannot ...

So sorry, David.
I misunderstood the rules. I thought I couldn't "link" (i.e. use the URL button) to an auction.
(For the record, this is only my second post.)
Also, since I'm not a commercial person, and I'm not trying to sell anything, it never occurred to me that I might be doing something ...

Hello.
This mark is from a silver dragon menu holder.
Can anyone identify the maker?
What does the "90 WA" mean?
Approximately what is the age of the piece?
Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you so much, Cheryl. We are thrilled that you have identified the mark–and that it is not from an obscure company!

These candlesticks are a family heirloom–and we're very eager to determine who initially purchased them. In order to do this, we'd love to narrow down possible years of ...

Hi Cheryl,
It was pretty scary trying to get the photos uploaded properly so I could ask you experts!
I found the La Pierre mark myself weeks ago, but it does not match exactly. Are you sure they are the makers? And if so, where might I find a list of all the marks they used?
Thanks,
Penelope

Never mind–I figured it out! I thought you were suggesting that I use it to decrease their size...
Thanks again.

I have tried to research this mark myself to no avail. Does anyone here have an idea who the maker is?
Thank you very much in advance.
Penelope

Hi Trev–
I still don't get it. I have two very small images on my computer (50 KB and 78 KB) and I don't understand how to embed them. All I know how to do is copy and paste–and that does not seem to work. I read the instructions that you sent, but I don't understand about codes and things like that ...

Hi. I'm new to this and would like to attach an image along with my post.
Please set it up so I can do this.
Thank you very much.
Penelope
