I am very new to silver & hallmarks but think I have the identified the maker & year (by using your excellent site)
Cigarette box ~ Synyer & Beddoes Birmingham 1916
Is the strange little mark at the beginning a Tally mark, (which I read in the glossary). I hope the photos work, I have used 3 pics as the main hallmark has worn away.

Hi Momma,

Yes, you are correct, it is the workman's tally mark.

Thanks Trev, it was your note on the glossary page that prompted this question.
