[QUOTE="escmode, post: 637886, member: 10842"]Hi all, My second post here... although the first in the Silver forum. I'm a newbie and so at this point, I'm clueless on every item I pick-up! But I do enjoy the researching process. Photo's below. [B]Here what I know about this item:[/B] Made by Martin Hall & Co, sometime between 1854-1866 (that’s the period they used a shield) [B]Here's what I don't know or would love it if you could confirm:[/B] [LIST] [*]Does the 'S' on the right-hand side denote 'Sheffield' ? [*]Does the 'P' at the top indicate the year (c 1858)? [*]Is it silver-plate (because it doesn't carry a sterling silver hallmark)? [*]I don't think it's 'Martinoid' or electro-plate, because it would carry a stamp indicating that? [*]Is it a milk jug, a tea pot (originally part of a set)..or none of these? [*]Is the '9348' number just an in-house serial number? [*]I don't know what the further most left or bottom symbols are? [*]Lastly, I've done quite an extensive ebay search of current and completed listings and couldn't find an identical piece. So how do you measure the rarity or value of an item? [/LIST] Thank you so much for any clarifications. Cheers, Patrick [ATTACH=full]183116[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]183117[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]183118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]183119[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
