Author	Topic: Jacob Hull
wizwoman unregistered	posted 03-26-2003 04:46 PM [01-1026] Help! I have a necklace, very heavy, plated silver, and it's signed Denmark, B&D, Jacob Hull. Can anyone give me information on either the company B&D, or the designer, Jacob Hull? I've tried Google, but can't find anything except a couple of JH's items. Thanks! IP: Logged
T-Bird-Art Posts: 143 Registered: Mar 2000	posted 03-27-2003 03:37 PM Jacob Hull appears to be a current artist making handmade pieces very collectable--and expensive. quote: Jacob Hull Modernist Amethyst Cuff Bracelet This bracelet is silver plated and is by Jacob Hull. Jacob Hull designs are very collectible and all feature a handmade studio quality to them. This cuff has hammered base and rouch set amethyst. It is fully marked and including the company insignia whom he worked for, B&D. It is large and impressive and is currently at 7.25 interior circumference. IP: Logged

Kimo Posts: 1627 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 03-28-2003 05:14 PM Given the relatively low price of raw silver these days, I wonder if there might be some other reason why someone would make non-massive items such as jewelry out of something else and then plate it to make it look like silver.

wizwoman Posts: 5 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 03-29-2003 07:52 AM Thank you all for your responses. For some reason I have the idea that he is not a current artist, but from the 60s-70s. IP: Logged
Arg(um)entum Posts: 304 Registered: Apr 2002	posted 03-30-2003 05:45 PM You are probably right. In one of my virtual cigar boxes of old, undigested electronic snippets I found one that points to a danish firm 'B&D' active from '69 to the mid-80s. Alas, that's all I have and I didn't note the source. The net yields little beyond the two pieces found by you and Mr. T-Bird which doesn't presage a coming collecting rage. But I did find some reference to a special alloy used for jewelry by one Jacob Hull. How sure are you that your piece is silverplated rather than a "burnished metal" as described in the second item above? IP: Logged
wizwoman Posts: 5 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 03-31-2003 12:34 PM I dipped the necklace and it came up bright and shiney. I always thought it was solid sterling because of the weight, but the other day I noticed a tiny chip off the plating. It looks like brass? underneath. IP: Logged
