Author	Topic: Identify marks
tjg Posts: 15 Registered: Apr 2002	posted 04-09-2002 02:24 PM Was wondering if anyone was familiar with the following: 1) box of several small salt & pepper shakers. Box has a picture of a shield and inside the shield it says V L with a banner running diagonally across the shield and inside the banner it says 1895. The items themselves are simply marked Sterling V.L. 2) a mark that has a shield with a crown over it. Inside the shield it looks like there are two dragons/lizards?? shaking a tree??? On either side of the shield there are two letters. The one to the left is mostly worn off so I can't identify. The one to the right is an 'S'. The item appears to be silverplate. I believe the item to be from around 1950. 3) Also, is there any significance to a either an hourglass or a drum on a Reed and Barton mark? If anyone can help it is much appreciated!!
