::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Is this Slipada? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

::::: The construction of the object seems to have something to do with Russia, so I am guessing Lithuania? ::::: I wondered about Armenia too when the Soviet influenced Armenia, but I'm having a difficult time finding those old pictures. ::::::: Could it be somewhere else in the Baltic region? ::::...

::::: Is Swiss Silver sometimes "triple marked" with three marks of the maker's mark? :::::: I think I remember reading that somewhere but I defer to the experts in Swiss Silver on this point. :::::::::::: https://i.imgur.com/8v175Va.jpeg :::::: The above mark might not quite match, but th...

::::: I did try but I was bounced around between an ORR & Sons maker in India, and there seems to be another ORR maker that I presume to be American, that is odd that the hallmarks are on the front of the buckle, I get kind of a "studio jewelry" feeling about this piece, it is a fantas...

:::::: If it is Jørgen Th. Steffensen then you would think that he would have made sterling silver, but all I can find is silver-plated objects. :::::::: Does anyone have this silversmith's mark on Sterling Silver objects? :::::: Did this silversmith only make silver-plated objects? ::::::::::::

::::: I was going to post that one of the two tiny strips of silver that attaches the bowl to the handle is broken on my example and is in need of repair. :::::: This design might be a traditional design so the form is conserved over the decades, but it does seem to be a bit fragile, I advise cautio...

::::: I have an example of this form with Dutch hallmarks and for some reason I thought it was a "pea strainer" spoon, I can't remember if I posted the marks here or not, but is this a "pea-strainer" spoon or a "sugar sifting spoon" ? ::::::::::

:::: Could George Shreve & Tiffany Co. buy spoons from Gorham without the "Lion Anchor G" hallmarks but Gorham did apply the "COIN" and "PATENT 1861" hallmarks? ::::: Or was Gorham hallmarking just inconsistent in 1860-1861 as COIN transitioned into the STERLING sta...

:::: That might be a "double-headed eagle" hallmark, those do occur on Austrian silver, I think I see the "double-headed eagle" now that you mentioned a chicken, as far as pictures go I guess just keep trying to take pictures until you get a really good picture that has sharp foc...

:::: I can't say for sure, but the shape of the cartouche and the 935 silver purity has me investigating Austria, but the strange thing is I can't identify the original hallmark because I think it has been overstepped with what looks like 3 symbols [cursive-lowercase-f (?) + the number 1 designating...

:::: Does anybody know why there are some examples of Gorham's Grecian Pattern (Patented 1861) that do not have Gorham's "Lion Anchor G" but they are still marked "Patent 1861" and "COIN" with different stamps that seem to be retail marks (George Shreve and also Tiffany...

::::::: I feel as if I should know this, but what does the circular hallmark of a woman facing left signify? :::: Can that hallmark be identified? :::::

::::: I'm guessing Brazil bur all the "R" hallmarks I've seen have a crown over them, but the last Emperor of Brazil Dom Pedro II ruled Brazil until 1889 so technically I believe the crown represented the glory and authority of Emperor Dom Pedro II and in theory it is possible that when Do...

::::: Upon further inspection it is [AMB] after all ::::::: Might be earlier than 1795 but not by much is my best guess at this time :::::::::::::::::::

::: Now it looks like AMR but it is so lightly struck it is hard to interpret. ::::::

:::: MOSES EASTMAN advertising guns was found in "The Silversmiths Of Georgia" by George Barton Cutten who provides a footnote referencing the newspaper advertisement in "The Georgian" newspaper in 1830 and again in 1832: https://i.imgur.com/tfREboH.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/puQUg...

::::: Have you completed your doctoral thesis on this silversmith? ::::: Would be interested to read more about this silversmith. ::::::

::::: Really love the style and artistry of these boxes, is your doctoral thesis about only Felix or is it about other silversmiths as well? :::::::

:::: If there are 2 spoons from the same maker both with partially obscured marks then the second spoon is being used to inform the first spoon due to the partially obscured marks on both spoons so there should be an exception to the rule because the second spoon is being used to support claims made...

::::: Most likely that is the article, it should have a paragraph about a pair of candlesticks by George Fenwick II, there was another website that I was able to access 5 years ago but that website is now defunct. ::::: As I remember it, that was the most informative article about George Fenwick II....

::::: See the "plus sign" on the tip of the end of the (dog nose?) spoon? Was there a symbolized marriage on the end of the spoon, and that has been erased? :::: Maybe this was a spoon owned by someone else and then another family took over the spoon and erased the symbolized marriage mark...
