    I won these bottles in an auction lot on eBay recently. I know they are both Birmingham, England, but I need some help with one of the maker's marks, possible confirmation on the other one & confirmation on the date marks. :happy:

    I think this one is c.1921, but I couldn't figure out the maker's mark.:rolleyes:

    I think this one c.1897 CC May & Sons (Charles May).

    I think Hardy Brothers, scroll down this page:

    And I agree, 1921.
    Could be Charles May. And yes to the date.:)

    I think you may have cracked this one. I was confused by the mark before the H, but I think this is a double-strike.

    Thank you so much!! :happy::happy::kiss:
