Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Dixons registered their 'Trumpet' trade mark in 1879, so your item was made after that date.

So i now have a possible start date is there anyway of me finding out from the hallmarks the dates
this item was made for example made between 1879-1920.

Thanks again for all the help Ive received so far
