    Hi, I cannot figure out this hallmark, and I have done research. A single turett with two profiles. What would this be? Irish sterling silver? Or something else? Thanks! hallmark.jpg

    Think there's a typo in your post. You mean, of course, turret.

    Looks like I spelled it right in the title. In the body, not so much. I posted during cocktail hour! ;) Any ideas as to the maker and silver content? Thanks.

    Love a good cocktail hour. Maybe @Bakersgma can help you.

    Well, not a margarita like I'd prefer. But a high-alcohol local craft beer. ;)

    I wish I could help, but this one doesn't really give us much to go on.

    If the item isn't a state secret, perhaps a picture of it would help. And, you're absolutely sure there no more markings anywhere? (Even faint ?)

    If we're ordering drinks I'll have a vodka Collins, squeeze and a twist.

    Never had a whiskey sour! Need to try one.
    Bakersgma, I don't have the item in hand yet, although I have purchased. When it arrives I'll post a whole photo of it. I think it must be some sort of Irish item, although not really sure.

    bulldogs, vodka is always good! I have never been as into cocktail hour as I have been these past two months. It's pretty much all I look forward to. Hoping that will change soon!

    To me, BTW, @moontymes, your Hallmark just looks like it was 'double' struck in hopes of a better imprint....

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Okay, I finally got it and more photos. It's about 8" across and about 5" tall. Maybe it's Sheffield plate? At that size, would its purpose have been some sort of caddy? It's way too big to be a snuff box or anything like that. Please also take a look at the hinges, maybe that will give someone a clue to its age.
    So, I'm looking for its age, use, and maker....just everything! :lol
    Thanks for any help at all. I'm at a loss about this thing! sh1.jpg sh3.jpg sh5.jpg sh6.jpg sh10.jpg sh8.jpg sh7.jpg
