Cigarette box please help me confirm date of production

Post by Guest »

Hi
I'm not sure about when this cigarette box was made. On this page: http://www.925-1000.com/dlBirmingham.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; the letter F is in square field wich wold mean that it was made in 1854 but in my box the letter F is in a book-like field. I would like to know if this detail make any difference in designation the date of this box. Thank you for your ansers.

Those are the Birmingham Assay marks from 1900-1949 - the Capital letters were used from 1925, so this would put this squarely at 1930, around the art deco period
