This what I meant by clip/loop - I don't know the correct term: https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg I note that there is what appears to be a matching clip/loop on the opposite side. These would have held an elasticated band to keep the cigarettes in place ...

No, no loop. the case is approx. 2 x 3 inches and is curved like a hip flask. I will upload a picture

Thank you. No, no loop. the case is approx. 2 x 3 inches and is curved like a hip flask. I will upload a picture.

I had William Aitkin written in my notes. Does anyone have an idea on the WA? I think it is Birmingham 1900. Nice sterling pill case or snuff box?

thanks!

What do any of y'all think about dates? I thought it was from around the 1930s...

Thanks for all the responses.

It's Vietnam. Import to the USSR. Looking for the vietnam hallmarks.

That's crazy...you have the same thing. (admin e...

Sorry, upon further inspection, the mark underneath is "P, a star with the hammer & sickle inside it, 916"

Thanks for any help!

This piece is somewhat of a mystery. Does the 916/sickle/star/P mean it is Russian or Asian? What type of silver is this? Does anyone know?

Does anyone know what "65/ 7 1/2" designates or means? It is on the bottom of the tray that came with 6 cordial glasses. Thank you. It would be very helpful to know a date range.

Wow! Thanks everybody!

I truly appreciate the help and this website.

Yes, I found the bird in that Hanau section. However, I still cannot identify the first mark. It reminds me of ballet toe shoes hanging down. The crown and crescent are clear. So, are you saying it's a dead end, but likely Hanau. I don't think I fully understand Hanau. Thanks.

Hello. I have a flask whose cap turns into a cup. Clever. I am forced to assume it is silverplate since it lacks Sterling or any numerical mark. I cannot make out the other (Maker) letters. They seem like WS_& Co...maybe. Can anyone help? https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-10...

I love this Site! I have a pair of German? silver swans. I can make out the crown and crescent, 800, some kind of bird (found on the Hanau section here) and another mark I cannot ID. Can anyone help ID this piece and mark?

Thanks.

I hope I am posting this pic correctly. This is some Asian mark on the bottom of 3 hammered Sterling cups that were sold as accompaniments to a hammered sterling flask. The flask is marked 950 Sterling. The 3 cups have this mark. Help. THanks.

Wow. That's a terrible picture I posted. The Crown/N/10 is printed top down. Then the Hallmarks are: A lion facing right. It looks like II (roman numeral 2) under him A Minerva head with an M on it A weird sideways small u. The initials KAN are down further and upside down compared to the hallmarks.

Does anyone know what KAN denotes? I assume it's someone's initials. Also, what do you think the crown/N/10 means?

thanks

Wow, Martin! Thanks so much. I have a couple hundred pieces. There are a few mysteries. I am getting ready to post here another mystery...
