Glass liners

I have searched reasonably but cannot find anything definitive regarding glass liners, their introduction time line etc especially for silver salts. The earliest reference I can find in European silver is early mid 18thc /Geo. I period. Does anyone have any information or a link please?

Unknown Marks

Hi, I'm at a loss having searched two main identification marks sites, including this one, for silver, silver plate, Old Sheffield and Coin. Being a retired English antique dealer later auctioneer I'm quite used to foraging for obscure marks but this has me stumped. Appears to be SA/SL, pig/boar or ...

Russian? Persian? Jewish?

Apologies if I am in the wrong group but there doesn't appear to be an Arabic(?) related group.

Lion's head anomaly

Hi, I haven't been here in a while as not usually flummoxed. A silver spoon bearing the London marks but 1837 or 1839? The lion's head in this instance appears unique to only one year, that of 1837 the year of death or King George and accession to the throne of Victoria. The Gothic upper case B or D...
