Try quotation marks - would post a link, but it's a PDF - here's a screen shot: [ATTACH] ~Cheryl
Agree with Greg and others, but frog collectors like them - me, not so fond of frogs anymore, have been fighting the invasive Cuban tree frogs...
Heh - they sell those inside, the big guys are outside. ~Cheryl
Found that maker's mark on only one other item, a small jewelry box in a Portuguese auction catalog from earlier this year, they described it as...
Would see similar erotic designs at craft shows and flea markets in the 1970s-'80s, but as already suggested, that's a poorly cast Chinese or...
London, 1867, George Adams/Chawner & Co., 'V' would be a journeyman's mark. I read the fancy monogram as 'CPS' or 'CSP' or the 'C' may be the...
Sweet piece. Some of the Yogya silversmiths have been identified, but the majority remain unknown, as with 'AS'. The auction house referenced...
Suspect it says '13⅓' rather than '1823', most likely Bergen silversmith Niels Crispinus Bakke, apprenticed 1843-49, joined guild 1863, died 1891,...
Those look like foil-back crackle-glass cabochons to me, maybe Czech or German, circa 1960s - as a kid back then, I thought they were so beautiful...
'W.B', no ampersand - electroplate by William Brearley, Sheffield, active from the 1860s into the 20th century. ~Cheryl
Please show a picture of the mark - so far as I know, Watson & Bell were York silversmiths around 1840, not known to have worked in Sheffield...
Wasn't really commenting on whether it's a 'good one' or not, just that, other than a mark indicating .800 fineness, there is nothing that points...
Would be surprised to see German marks, it's not Italian either - Indian, probably from Rajasthan, the design and work is pretty typical. They...
If you're asking about them being marketed for different purposes, the suggestions of alternate uses was most likely a later response to their...
Almost looks like it was intentionally defaced, perhaps a 1968+ Italian mark. Seems an unusual shape, is it square or rectangular, what size?...
Thanks Greg and Susie. Those are all Scandinavian silver except for the one at top right, it's silverplate, the horn pepperette belongs with the...
Might have been for any number of purposes - for instance, the intaglios, like the pretty blue one in Johnny's post #18, were most likely...
Novelty cocktail napkins, would guess 1940s-50s. ~Cheryl
Thanks Wendy, hadn't seen her handle recently, good to know all is well. Not really my area, and impossible to see the details and materials in...
Nuff - how was age determined on the needlework piece? Does anyone know where HC has been? Am a bit concerned... ~Cheryl
