[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3762015, member: 8708"]You know those moments where there is a minute left on an eBay auction and you have to decide if to fling a bid in without research or not. Well I did and hopefully struck lucky. This was in a job lot of random items, I saw the silver lid and thought it was worth a punt. I’ve established that it’s Doulton but can anyone help unravel the backstamps please? Google tells me the round stamp was used 1882-1901 but the silver hallmark date letter that looks like an O/Q/D only looks similar to the D of 1878? Any other information welcome, I’ve found a few examples on the internet but not this exact one which is ‘What will he do with it’ by Lord Lytton - (An in joke of the time?) Thankyou for looking :-) [ATTACH=full]315052[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315056[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315057[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315058[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315061[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
