Apologies - a very belated 'thank you'.

My father was given a silver tumbler as a Christening present in 1931, although the hallmark is 1925. It's 10.2cm tall, 8cm diameter at the top and 6cm diameter at the bottom. It weighs 234g and is completely plain apart from and engraving and the hallmarks on the bottom. Unfortunately, although ...
