Vintage Pewter/Lead Ashtray?
« on: July 10, 2013, 08:33:04 pm »
This is a recent purchase of an old Pewter and Lead Ashtray that I would say is about 50/50 Pewter and Lead (just a guess) since it weights about 1 Pound 11 Ounces and is about 7 1/2 in Diameter.

On the bottom of the ashtray it says Made In Germany and a Hallmark or Makers Mark with an Angel facing to the right and the Letters "T S" that are visible and most likely another letter that is not visible.

Does anyone know who this Hallmark belongs to and when it might have been made?

Thanks!
Kevin

Old German pewter bore a European Angel hallmark to indicate German Manufacture.
