If you haven't identified your piece, compare the mark you described against that of Friedman Silver Co (Brooklyn NY).

I have just now finished reading this entire forum - beginning at June 2005. It's taken three solid days - except for a trip to Metrolina Antiques today where by, delightful coincidence, I ran into a friend of Admin. Tom's! What a small world. I've got my printouts of unidentified marks that I resea...

Your object is used to arrange a spray of flowers for the table. Water is poured into the bowl, and then stems of the flowers are inserted through holes in the meshed cover.

When I've finished reading the forum, I will check my records and post the company/makers' names. Right now, I'm up to September 2008. I should be finished shortly, after which I will colla...

French flatware services generally did not contain knives for a number of reasons. First, many services were given as wedding gifts and, in France, it was considered bad luck to give knives to a bride. Also, silversmiths did not make forks, spoons AND knives. Silversmiths making flatware services ma...

I'm thinking, too, that the circle is the key to the manufacturer. I'm researching this trademark at the moment and this is as close to mine as I've yet found. My mark is stamped on a silverplated domed bacon keeper and the only difference is the positioning of the O. The O on my bacon keeper is a f...

I have been reading these forum messages for two straight days now because I'm looking for this very mark. Mine is stamped on the underside of the rim of a beautiful domed bacon keeper. I've done extensive research on this mark and have turned up nothing definitive - yet. I found it in a section of ...

Art Nouveau Flatware Service

I have a silverplated art nouveau flatware service that my long-deceased grandmother brought back from Europe in 1918. Despite extensive research, the maker's mark is still unknown to me. It's a very small mark that I can discern only with a jeweler's glass. The mark consists of a square cartouche. ...
