Well, I’m astonished — but ever could happen all.
Hello all
Sorry Anne, actually you see our open search; a search to find, if possible, a common and reliable sounded clue.
Thank you, »
Cheryl« and »
Qrt.S«, for yours very interesting, and of course very plausible contributions!
»925-1000« »Search« function is actually very sick; until yet I couldn’t find back a contribution from about a half year ago, on Gebr. Sommé — if I remember correct, there were shown a »
SOMMÉ«
retailers mark too.
As already mentioned, the »Search function« doesn’t function from out the South West corner of Continental Europe. But directly after my contribution I’ve found, by »Search function« my minute before posted contribution. Question: Computer with »Alzheimer« too?
I’m well an old man — but instead of disagree, in reality I should maybe praise the dysfunction?! Because it’s an useful »brain jogging« contra »Alzheimer«?!
Seen, that after the
WWII Germans was expulsed out of that area of Breslau, and of course out of other Eastern area too,
some Million human leaving back almost all of their belongings. So I hadn’t any doubts on the actual, a little bit “
old looking”, or a little bit desolate condition of this salt in question.
Thank you Cheryl for yours remark —
and possible correction. It would be sure, that we would see to find a solution.
As all experienced collectors know, often we could in our imagination "
add" by knowledge,
missing parts of a punch. We could in such »
reconstructed«
punches sound our clues; for example, please look here:

And then after, we make them public for discussion; similar as we practice just now.
Some weeks ago I’ve got the monographic
book on »
Julius Lemor« and the
catalogue on
Silesian silver wares *. It’s imaginable, that Provinces settled profession has made so many pattern of hollowware, that by incidence only, one of these could be published in these two excerpts.
The
style of this salt seems to have had in the past such a kind of
acceptability — that it is also imaginable, to make now
reproductions in e.g. Galvanic plastic technique.
By my experience of knowing possible deformations or destructions, which could happen during the strike of punches, here I had the impression, without very sounded doubts, that these were »
SOMMÉ«
punches. Sorry.
Yes of course, Cheryl’s remarks, especially related on e.g. the »
price«
area, and by you, »
Qrt.S«,
detailed explanations of these two punch area, and their punches,
let me hope, that Anne could find locally an expert, to find out the real metal.
Never before I’ve seen this kind of salts in reproduction — so Cheryl’s and »Qrt.S« arguments and explanations of punches are now at least in pole position — and it seems to me, that they would be the correct winner in this case.
Anne, please look out to find a person which has
experience in precious and surrogate metals, that he or she have a critical look on the metal part of this item. Please, let’s know the result — also if it need weeks or month’.
Cheryl stated once in the past, similar to »ValkyrieVixen«, to look also on the attractively of an item —
not first only on “
gram fine metal”.
Anne, if this salt attracts you and you could accept, to have a version made from not precious metal; sorry, then that would for all of us a necessary lesson too.
Thank you Anne!
