what do these pictorial mark mean?

Post by kenjibell »

Previously I posted to ask a question about identifing hannmarks on the silverplate fork, John Gilbert, Birmigham.
In addition to identify marker's hallmark, I want to know what the pictorial marks stamped on the right side of initial mark do mean.
I suppose these mark represent anchor, symbol of Assay Office, Birmingham.
Could anyone advise me how to know these meaning of pictorial marks?

They may not mean anything but the other way up they are the alchemical symbol for sulphur.
