Re: Crescent brooch - ? missing agate - ??.H.L - STG SIL
Thanks for the leads but I am not convinced it is NZ/Aussie origin. A great uncle served in WW1 (was in Egypt) and this item only turned up in my mother's jewellery box relatively recently. Although the great uncle did live in Canterbury, NZ he purchased items for his sister (my grandmother) in vari...

Crescent brooch - ? missing agate - ??.H.L - STG SIL
This item needs repair but it has family history so I am hoping to get a wee bit more detail before trying to restore. I am assuming it is missing agate - it is tiny and clearly needs a good clean if nothing else. The pin also appears to be someone's handy work (not original) and the catch is gone. ...

Was Robert Allison as early as 1937 - ? Glascow

Any help appreciated as I am hoping to define some history against these items from my mum's es...

Penannular Brooch - unable to decipher marks
Hi All - I need some help to work out where this penannular brooch may have come into our family. My mother is from Scotland and with several other items we have been able to work out the marks and potential era/original owner. This one I am having trouble with so any help would be gratefully receiv...

Re: Duchess Plate - is this a process or brand
Thanks for the reply - May be slightly older than I was thinking. Not convinced it isn’t a bent spoon rather than a loop spoon as such. Regards Grid

Duchess Plate - is this a process or brand
I have a spoon - not sure if it is a true loop spoon or just had handle bent as it doesn’t sit well. Stamped with Duchess Plate - what looks like EPNS in a shield. Does anyone know anything about what timeframe this is from - assume 20th century and is it a brand from an individual maker or a proces...

I have a Harrison Fisher & Co, Sheffield tea pot, coffee pot and hot water jug in EPNS A1 silverplate and would really appreciate a defined catalogue date. H.F & Co appear to be better known for cutlery but this tea & coffee style / set was released both in sterling silver and silverplat...

Re: Birmingham maker RR - 1929 (??)
Must mention this is my first post on the forum so apologies for the repeated entries. Thanks for the welcome Trev. If any of the above ‘RR’ names can be eliminated that would also be of great help as it just seems a rectangle and plain initials are reasonably common. Looking forward to hearing from...

Re: Birmingham maker RR - 1929 (??)
Sorry - just noticed I said Richard when I meant Robert Rutland. It is the Birmingham that is throwing me. Who knows the RR linked with Birmingham?

Re: Birmingham maker RR - 1929 (??)
Is this big enough to see - the RR is in a rectangle with no dots or dashes. Just the letters.

Birmingham maker RR - 1929 (??)
I am having trouble isolating the silversmith for a loop spoon and pusher. RR has reference to Richard Richardson - Richard Rew - Richard Rugg - Richard Rutland but I can't see if any of these had links to Birmingham. I can see RR in a rectangle - anchor (Birmingham) - lion (silver) - E (?1929).Is s...
