<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 3957481, member: 111&quot;]Oh Kyra, that&#039;s a great piece!&nbsp; The random marks at the top are assay-scrapes (diets), I have no idea why there would be so many, or why what appears to be proper Chester hallmarks (missing sponsor mark) were defaced - British assay offices will deface marks they consider false or forgeries, but they wouldn&#039;t do those assay-scrapes.&nbsp; The Chester assay office closed in 1962, so if that&#039;s what they are, would be a fairly early Brutalist piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit:&nbsp; Believe the sponsor/maker&#039;s mark is present, stamped incuse and defaced as well - &#039;LH&#039;?</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps Bear can help, would flag her, but my laptop doesn&#039;t allow me to do that here anymore...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
