mnecollectiques Posts: 2 Registered: Feb 2005	posted 02-23-2005 10:40 AM Hello - I have a lovely old intricate silver basket with glass liner - I believe it to be Sheffield. It has 3 embossed hallmarks; left to right they are: G.OA111A (left) 5691 (center) and lastly, a Cat head (leopard?) with whiskers and the letters "C C" on either side of the head at the base of the square the head is in. Can you tell me if this is Sheffield? If so, what do the letters C C stand for and can you tell me the age of the basket? Thank you for any help you can provide. IP: Logged

As a new mamber, please be familiar with the guidelines (especially as they apply to commercial sales) and with rules for posting photos. IP: Logged
