    Another pewter question. . . what's the likely age on a pot with these marks ? The third mark reads 92% tin. s-l1600 (15).jpg

    It says 'tin', the Dutch word for pewter. The German word for pewter is Zinn.
    So I would think Dutch 'engeltjestin', angel pewter, with the angel mark.
    Don't know much about pewter, but in silver the tower mark would be for Middelburg, province of Zeeland in the southwest of the Netherlands.
    Until 1850 the 'engeltjes' mark was the guarantee mark for 92. The fact that 92 was added specifically, makes me think this was made after 1850. But others can tell you know more about it.

    Could we see more pictures of the pot?

    Certainly looks pretty recent.

    Hi,you mentioned Zinn in your comment. I have recently found a pewter plate on flee market and it has S:W Fein Zin on it. Is that a same thing? My guess is it’s from around last quarter of 18th century Bohemia but I am not sure. Would you be able to help me identify it more precisely please? Thanks.

    Hi Darian.

    This is from Stara's book, Pewter Marks of the World. The mark for Joseph Neidhardt looks about right to me.

    CS stands for Czechoslovakia

    These are examples of fineness marks. SW would seem to mean Schlaggenwalder
