THANKS VERY SIMILAR IF NOT THE SAME...MINE HAS A PARTIAL HALLMARK SO IM HOPING SOMEONE KNOWS THANKS AGAIN

 

The last part of the name is BRONZE ...


The first part looks like BA _ _ _ _ (six letters).

 

wow thats really good

 

after the BA can you see almost the shadow of letters also what time period do you think this was made

 

Looks like the first one after BA is a T, so BAT-something.

It is an Art Nouveau design, and looks to be of the period, so late 19th-early 20th.

Because Mercury/Hermes was a messenger, he was also used as a symbol for postal services, so a very appropriate subject for a letter opener.

 

i was thinking..the only other brass ive had with this marbled finish from carl aubock...does anyone think there could be a connection

 

I see a B A and then a space and an H
