<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spartcom5, post: 10316382, member: 5213&quot;]Shot in the dark here but I came across this 17th Century German silver beaker. I don&#039;t know if anyone here has any German silver mark books but if anyone could ID this maker mark I would greatly appreciate it. The other mark is of a nettle leaf and after posting on another forum I think this piece may be from Rinteln by the Sebastian family. Finding a mark this old may be very hard especially in the US. I can see there are quite a few books online from Germany with very earl silver marks but are impossible to obtain! I should also note that the lid is defintely a later addition to the cup, different finish, different color gilt, different flowers, etc. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]518456[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518457[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518458[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518459[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518460[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518461[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518462[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518463[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518464[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
