[QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 9789136, member: 83302"]Alfred Bester was a sci-fi writer. His best known work is The Demolished Man from the 1950s. He died in 1987. The person who cared for him his final years just passed away. I got some very nice pieces from the auction of his things. One is an ice tong with B for Bester engraved at the top. I've tried looking up the markings. I'm pretty sure this is from the UK. I don't know if it's sterling or silverplate or who the manufacturer is. Even though I know the stand alone marking is from the maker. Looking through markings sites, I can find anything except the lion appears to be British. Does anyone recognize these markings? Thank You! [ATTACH=full]484836[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484835[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]484837[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
