Hi members
I have seen this ornate casket,similar to one I have (not marked), I have been researching my casket for a while ,not sure where they were made (I feel French or German, Electrotype ,not sure if Elkington &co ,made any like these.

I have seen a few in the past marked AB Paris.

The seller of this one says the maker is Horton & Allday Birmingham. Interesting no sterling marks.

I feel it is silver plated (makes sense why no hallmarks).

Was this just retailed by Horton&Allday? And made by someone else? Would be interested in opinions . I have added images of my box as well.
With the huge,huge price on it ,it seems like the seller may feel it is silver(not sure if it has been tested)

Regards Guido.

Hi Members
May this mark be for the Harold & Ahswin (Birmingham,plate?)
I cannot find their mark. does anyone know what their mark looks like?

Regards Guido.

Harold & Ashwin's mark is H & A, each character in its own square according to silvercollection.it. That is the same as their silver mark.

Thanks Phil
I will have a look. Looks like that discounts them.

What's your feeling on the mark on the box? The letter H looks slightly different to registered Horton &Allday marks .
Lugs on base of H letter ,no square punch mark also.
Is this a variation of their mark ?or another maker? And do you agree it is probably plated.

Regards Guido.
