Interesting! A couple of new lines of investigation to pursue...
Thank you again, SBSVC. Okay, so now I need to determine if this company received a Royal Warrant and, if so, when. That would at least give us...
Well, the crest doesn't seem to have anything to do with the regiment, or Ludwigsburg Castle. It doesn't seem to be related to the Kingdom of...
Thank you for your helpful replies, SBSVC and terry5732! SBSVC, you do seem to have found a couple of close matches to this syringe. I guess the...
Thanks, interesting guesses all! Here is the coat of arms that is on it: [IMG] ...and, I found an advertisement for the company, from 1834,...
I have this interesting brass syringe, marked with the company name "W & H Hutchinson, Sheffield". As you will see in the photos, it also has...
Yes, you're right, that does seem to be a pretty good match for shape, even though it's about twice the size of the one in question, and the bowl...
Didn't think of that possibility, either!
Thank you for this. Late 19th Century is good enough for me! I was thinking it was about a hundred years old but I expect you're correct, and it's...

Thanks, Mansons2005. I think this was probably a tobacco pipe, if only because of the colour. Doesn't meerschaum turn that lovely honey brown...
Oh, we didn't think of that!
Hi, I found this tiny smoking pipe in an antique shop, and the dealer and I are both puzzled about what it might be. The bowl looks to be...
Makes sense - will do some investigation along those lines. If I discover anything, I'll let you know.
Thank you so much, Any Jewelry! Very helpful. :) Now, is the crossed keys crest inside the lid something to do with the castle?
Earlier today, I found this glass stein. I can understand a little bit of the inscription but my research now seems to have reached a standstill....
Even the reproduction stuff now has some age to it!
It does seem like a bad idea, but there's no shortage of photos of exactly this sort of thing: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] BTW, I love that, in the first...
You can see a reproduction chamber pot HERE in a very similar style, but with marks on the bottom, and a note inside saying it's a reproduction!
I realize this is a joke photo, but still...
Separate names with a comma.
