NEEDING HELP with this silver mark Please Please Please :)
« on: December 11, 2013, 03:32:03 pm »
I am needing help with this silver mark....it is driving me batty (no comments Wullie!)

I have seen this type of marking on porcelain....just can't find any on this item (silver plated condiment set) I have been eyeing for awhile.

Someone thought it was for Elkington, but have never seen an Elkington mark like this!!!

Any help appreciated!!! :)

I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

1870.

Is that bottom mark a G ?


where are my manners - it's the second variant of the registration mark on UK items, applicable from 1868-1883. Top mark is day of the month, so 17 here. Bottom mark is the month ( ? ) and the right is the Date letter - C for 1870.
The left mark is the " bundle " and the very top mark refers to the category or genre of the item.

The number on the bottom looks like a 16 when I try and blow it up!  Not a letter.

With a tablet you can really blow things up. Mart, Ipcress is right. 17 for day. 2 for month and a C.

No need to feel sorry for Avril....she lost her sense of smell 4 years ago....after a viral infection....or so she says.....but....i.m beginning to wonder....cos now and again she lets slip...like yesterday..when she said..."have you been smoking in the house.."...to which I replied....Meeee... .Never....then when i asked her if her sense of smell was returning....she said no....".I just thought i could smell smoke"..... ;D
