i have a pill box.
it has the anchor in a completly square cartouche.
followed by the lion in an oblong cartouche , but it has the corners cut off to give it eight sides.
that is followed by the letter h, in a square cartouche with the corners off again, and the makers mark is b& co.
the h is capital with the left top turning out like a seven.
the cross bar starts on right and flows through the left side.
the right hand side of the h curls up on the bottom to the right.
can anybody help me.[/b]

Sounds like Birmingham 1982 but without seeing the marks I cannot give a definitive answer. Cannot find reference to B&Co so probably confirms lateness of the item. What is the item please. Can you E-mail me photos of item and marks and will give better assessment. Best wishes, MIke.
