Can anyone assist with identifying these marks? They seem bogus to me.
I have searched the entire site here and have not found anything similar.
Thanks.

Thanks for that insight! So you think this set of marks is likely to be correct.
I see the fifth example you show is very close to mine. If I look at Grimwade, marks 2963 - 2973 are all marks for "T W" with no pellet in between. How would I determine which it might be?
I was thinking that these would be dating around 1760, if there were authentic, so I would look at Thomas Wallis I, Thomas Woodhouse or Thomas Wilson?

These candlesticks are silver plated only.

I see. So these would be properly called silverplate pseudo hallmarks.
Thanks again.
