<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 4500489, member: 111"]Hi Nate - nice piece, looks sturdy. Have very little time, but did poke around a bit, pretty well impaired by not being able to fully make out the marks. Believe the maker's mark has a 'D'(?) and 'R' flanking what does appear to resemble, as Bakersgma suggests, a book-press like Wilkens used. Would guess the other is a town mark, maybe early-mid 19th century German, Baltic, etc. - kind of think I see a hammer or axe on the left of the shield, and my brain keeps saying, "Oh look, a seahorse!", on the right, but have doubts there (but I do really like seahorses). Sorry, that's all I've got...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
