will try the q-tip trick

I will be trying the q-tip trick to make that mark more visible. Will post a pic as soon as I can get a good one and then hopefully we can all solve this mystery :)

Stay tuned....

identifying can be grueling!

If you have any other tips or ideas on the details of these markings, definitely post them as I feel this may take some time to dig to the bottom of this :)

thanks again!

thanks so much

what I ended up finding out from some digging is that there is an anchor mark next to the lion passant. The markings from left to right are, anchor, lion passant and lower case "i". From my digging, I found out that they are probably from Birmingham, definitely sterling and made around 190...

great resource

thanks for your link - yes, I did try to find it in there and what I found out was that the marks indicate that the item from Birmingham, sterling silver and made around 1908. I was unable to find the maker which I guess would be the "H" mark on the tweezers.
