Initially I thought it was silver plated as it was with a big collection of tableware. After sending a picture of the hallmarks to a local dealer it was established that it is in fact silver. It is about 2.5inch tall and weighs 114grams.

    I have searched google for hours and have come across ones that are very similar but they are condiment shakers (salt/pepper). These are Richard Comyns or Tiffany & Co, but my one doesn’t have holes in the top or a detachable part, or does it have the same hallmarks.

    Looks like Harman & Lambert made in 1967 New Bond Street London.
    In business from 1963-1969.
    There are more knowledgeable people on the board so I could be wrong but I just checked London makers and date marks.

    Thankyou

    I guess my next question is.... is it worth anything?

    It is bound to be worth something, but we don't give values here.
    We have some good searchers here. Someone will probably find a similar one for you, so you have an idea.

    Brilliant Thankyou, I have spent days trying to find one similar but I could only find condiment sets, and an onyx ashtray with the owl attached to it that looked the same

    Hi and WELCOME, @JT90171!!! I do love your little owl!!:):):)

    EDIT: What do the bottom of his feet look like?? Could he have possibly been attached to something???

    Welcome to the forum, JT!
    If you go back to your post, hit edit, hit Full size for all photos, yours pics will be bigger.
    Is there a notch on the back, bottom? If so give full size pic of that, please.
    Maybe it’s just how the tail is shaped.

    I found this but it’s not made by the same company, it’s the only thing that comes close

    I was hopeful that the bottom of the feet might help, but they don't!! He's just a stand alone beautiful little owl.....might have been a "one only" which might mean you'd have to go on silver content and weight for rough value as well as how much someone wants it!!???:rolleyes::rolleyes:
