Austrian tray

Hose_dk · Post by **Hose_dk** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 2:16 am

This tray is from Vienna - Minerva has a 3 for 800 silver and an A for Vienna. It is 47cm x 35,5 cm. Weight is 828 gram.
Minerva is Austria Hungeria 1872 to 1922. But who is the maker? It is a JJ or JG with a dot between the 2 letters.
Any help would be most appresiated.

It only contains the 2 marks makers mark (and it is so small) so I have included 2 versions of that. And then it has the Minerva mark.

Josef Geiringer, listed at various addresses in Vienna 1893-1922.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the name.
And now the tray has been cleaned up and is shining as it should. I bought it 2 days ago in Budapest and now it will come into use - as my intention is that the wife should use it when serving my breakfast :)

But I might become wiser.

I also bought this suger - unfortunately no makers mark. Just Hungarian silver mark 1824 - seller said southern hungeria. Today Serbien.
