After checking some Sheffield trade directories and a Grace's Guide reference, "Austin & Dodson", do not look to me as a good fit as makers of your hollow ware. They have a classification as "Steel Refiners" along with the manufacture of "heavier" items like tools, steels and files. The question I ...

Hello, do you have an opinion on the mark next to the bigger shield mark? Is it a pictorial mark or a letter mark? AD&Co, or DA&Co looks like the concern, but no British suggestions come imediatly to mind.

Hello, I need to correct myself a little, I have left a final "n" from the end of John Yates trademark's name. It should read "Virginian Silver" as show below in the part transcript of an advert published in the Illustrated Midland News from Saturday 21 May 1870:

YATES'S VIRGINIAN SILVER and ...

It is interesting and also worrying that such a lot of cutlery is attributed to Israel Yudelmann concern but with the such small information trail. He and his Son or Sons have apparently been involved in the distribution of cutlery with mid 19th century styled manufacturers marks on. However if ...

Newspaper adverts relating to Brush & MacDonnell. To the left Dec. 1859 and to the right June 1867. Perhaps underlining the important retailing part of the business.

Hello, an image of a set of pseudo hallmarks, that I had copied some time ago, has just resurfaced from one of my unknown marks folders, so whose marks are they?. The ugly looking, very near hallmarks were taken from a spoon, suggested to be a 19th century London item.

Piper Connection
High Street, Exeter

The city of Exeter in Devon and the surname "Piper" is already mentioned in 3 posts on the Forum. However, it does not appear to be the same "Piper" in all of the 3 posts.
Below is the directory entry that brought my attention to the "Pipers", there being a ...

Hello, here are a couple Nickel Silver trade names I believe not many of our Forum readers will have heard of, let alone seen. The tradenames are "Sycee Nickel Silver", and possibly "Glassford Nickel Silver". The Glasgow concern of James Muirhead & Co claimed ...

Nice images Traintime, the one with the H.Samuel shop and the trolleybus is fairly late though. The Morris Minor car in the picture was first show at the London motor show late 1948, so image possibly circa 1950.

Hello, I have been trying to sort, for my own mind, the silver plate marks of Thomas Woolley, the Birmingham electroplate ware manufacturer, but a "Woolley & Co", also from Birmingham, crossed my path in a Birmingham, 1896-97 directory.

Hello stardus7, the manufacturer's marks on this teapot are very badly rubbed and the gothic style lettering is hard to sort anyway. Looks like a crown and then "D &" followed by 2 other letters. If enough forum members look at you image, someone may recognize the marks but it may take a while ...

Hello kathcamp, although the implication is that your items were London made, they were in fact made/hallmarked in Sheffield. That particular "T" and shield were for 1961. The maker's mark was on of many slightly different "CB&S" marks used by the well known concern of "Cooper Brothers & Sons Ltd ...

Hello, Tastevin, Dixon & Sons is an acceptable identification as the bugle was 1880's onwards. Against that is that Dixons did often have that extra "S" indicating "from Sheffield", but other early gothic lettering marks attributed to Dixon also lack the extra "S". Those marks do have various other ...

Hello, and a good new year to all.
I have come across the "Brazil Silver" trademark, at odd times, when researching other things. No other identifiable makers marks appeared to been associated with them, but I believed it was a USA used trademark.
