Sterling picture frame

Birmingham 1878 (Letter D)

Maker S.M.L. or S.M.D. (Last letter may be incomplete)

Any ideas?

Victoria in Toronto

Are you sure that you have the right 'd'? Is there a queen's head duty mark?
If it is an ordinary, lower case 'd', with no duty mark, it would be 1903, in which case S.M.L would be Samuel M and Charles M Levi.
This is why a photo is so useful, everyone always hopes their piece is that little bit older.

Sounds like the hallmark I am looking for information on. It is a pair of candleholders with SML or SMD but looks more like S.M.L all in capital letters contained in a plain rectangle.

Anchor (City=Birmingham???) in shield like feature with lowest point at bottom middle of the shield. Lion mark in same shield shape. Capital E, in same shield shape. Looks like an F in the photo but it is an E



I will also post these on a separate new topic to see if someone can help us.

Your photo is great -- my markings are identical except I have a capital D instead of the E.

Thanks.
