Thank you Peter! Good hint. In Wolfgang Scheffler, Goldschmidt Niedersachsens, volume 2, I indeed found the townmark of Harburg. And I found more towns with similar townmarks with three towers. The pages under “Architecture” consists over 100 townmarks. From Harburg indeed, but also Steinkirchen ...

Hi, I received a private message, content: “It's not a Spanish mark, although with a bit of imagination it could resemble a castle, I don't recognize it that way, and at that time, silversmiths marked it with their full name, never with their initials.”. So, not Spanish. Anyone with an idea?

Thank you for your response. In Fernandez, Marcas de la plata there is stated that the mark of Madrid is with or without the numbers. Mid and early 18e century it is mostly without numbers. Master EC isn’t in that book.

The townmark for Madrid looks very much at this townmark with three towers. See Fernandez et al, Marcas de la Plata, Madrid 1992, page 222-228. If its Madrid, who is master EC?

Altona?

Better photo of the third mark that I can't understand.

Sorry, I mean this jug.

Hello,

This jug has a weight of 518 grams which is quite heavy for a jug of just 21 cm high.
Looks to me like German early/middle 18e century. The town mark could maybe be Hamburg or Mariënburg, but maybe another town. The other mark doesn't make sense ...

Thank you very much. Not available in English or German language?

Hi, Where to find reference books with Prague silversmith's marks and names prior to around 1866?

Thank you!
Wolfgang Scheffler, Goldschmiede Rheinland-Westfalens 1 (1973), does show the townmark of Kalkar and that, in particular mark 465b, could really be the townmark on the box, however there is no mentioning of a master "CD" in Kalkar. Are there more towns with towers in ther townmark that ...

Hi,
This small box (Height 3 cm; Long 3,7 cm; Wide 3,2 cm; Weight 19 gram) has a clear mastermark CD, a dateletter that looks like a C and a townmark that looks like the townmark for Alkmaar, North Holland. The mastermarks for Alkmaar I have acces to don't list a ...

Doublé is a gold-plated object that is basically made of another metal. If it’s basically silver there should be a silvermark as well.
I have never seen the mark “Doublé” on a solid silver object. Of course there is gilded silver, but then the object is hallmarked with silver hallmarks.

Glad that I could help

Hi, The master is mentioned in Arminjon et al, Dictionaire des poinçons de fabricants d’ouvrages d’or et d’argent de Paris et de la, Tome II Seine, Cahiers de l’inventaire, 1994. The numbers are the official French gouverment numbers.

Agree with Peter. I found very similar marks in Helft, Le Poinçon des Provinces Françaises, 1985, page 500. It’s a pity that exactly this one isn’t there. Maybe an unknown master of small silverwork.

Hi,
Even if it is in theory possible to replace the original images, I have no idea how to do that.

Hi,
