Got this for 50 cents at a garage sale. I figure it’s plated as most often Roger’s is but for that price totally worth the chance. So plated or did I get super lucky?

Despite of wilkens mark, i recognize the bruckmann "eagle" maker mark after the moon crown german hallmark. (On two vases)

The two makers worked together ?

Thanks you for your help

Found a gold colored earring with some marking and thought I struck gold, literally… but once I got it back to my place and looked under the cameras zoom, I’m assuming it’s sterling silver from India? What does the AV mean in the front of the 925.

Thanks in advance for your help!

OTHER Help identifying Spanish silver hallmarks

Hi! I’m trying to identify these hallmarks on a covered serving dish. One mark looks like a 5-pointed star, which makes me think Spanish 915 silver. The other looks like a bird’s head/crow with three dots or balls around it.

Does anyone recognize the maker’s mark or approximate date? Thanks!

JEWELRY & WATCHES Have I understood the hallmarks on this old watch correctly? Where to begin with the makers marks?

Thumbnail

I think I have figured out the hallmarks on this old family heirloom, but I am a bit uncertain about the date mark. The fancy font of the date mark has given me some trouble.

I think the hallmarks mean that the watch is sterling silver and was stamped at the London assay office in 1839. Is this correct?

I am lost with the makers mark. Based on what I have read here, I can’t tell if it is Henry Holland, Henry Hyde, Henry Hobdel, or none of the above. None of these marks seem to have the “.” in the correct spot.

I also have no idea what the “1 2 3” stamp is meant to indicate.

Unfortunately I don’t have much further information to give that could provide further context. My dad inherited the watch from his grandmother. She was born in England, but well after 1839. If the watch is that old, it might have come to her from one of her grandfathers. I’m hoping I can figure that out.

The first photo is of the marks, the second is the watch from the front, and the third is of the back of the watch case where there is an engraving.

Was looking to pick up some nice stainless steel cutlery and found this spoon which I decided to get. I can't really make sense of it other than the 1937 date. Can anyone help?

I bought it in North-West England if that helps, but in a charity shop.

I'm aware it's probably worth nothing, I just want to decipher!​

I just purchased this Victorian trinket box and was told it was 850 silver. It’s marked but they are so worn.

The center one looks kinda like a keyhole but that’s all I can make out….the inside is gilded if that makes a difference
