The search for the maker continues... I was wondering if anyone has Langdon's Canadian Silversmiths 1700-1900 . I have looked through the 1966(I think) version but I know there is a reprint of it in the 1990's. I am once more convinced that it is North American in nature, and hope to gather the cour...

Is there any way to identify it by form? I want to pick up a book about south american silver to check if any are similar in form. I have not been able to find any mugs by american makers with a similar handle.

I recently acquired a tankard or cann (it's 6 inches tall, 3 3/4 wide at the base, with no lid) The interior is hammered, as well as the bottom(as would be expected on an early piece where the only finished area would be the exterior. ) I am certain it is American coin silver, as the dealer I bought...

I believe this tea caddy to be French. It has import marks for chester as well, but I am more curious to determine the country of origin. Thanks in advance.

A freind of mine has been trying to determine the origin of this flask: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y263/wdvdv/flask.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y263/wdvdv/flask1.jpg It is roughly 4.5 inches tall, and has an old cork under the lid. We were also debating over it's use, as a perfume or ...
