Okay, those 4 small punches look like the typical pseudo hallmarks used on British pewter to simulate silver hallmarks. I have included a print screen pic of British pseudo hallmarks that were on Pat's pewter site. Similar pseudo hallmarks were used on American and Dutch pewter. Yours appears to be: 1st. letters, 2nd. animal Kangaroo, 3rd. sugar bowls/teapots on a shelf, 4th. possibly an animal face. The one's on the pewter site: 1st. letters/initials, 2nd. top half of an animal, 3rd. sugar bowls/teapots on a shelf, 4th. boar's head. --- Susan [ATTACH=full]11996[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
