[26-1665] Hi Forum Can anybody help me with my tray? I looked around in the forum and found it very helpful, but I could not find why this tray has what appears to be two date letters and no makers mark. I assume this is English with the Sheffield assay office mark and the lion passant for sterling silver? Is it really from 1824 because it has also no duty mark and this was not abolished until much later. I would appreciate any help and offer thanks in advance. Best regards Alice Here is a picture of the tray and the hallmarks. IP: Logged |

Hi Alice, At first my compliments for the beautiful tray. It's nice to have such one. I've looked around for your question but I've also my doubts about the letter B in the shield. In a topic of 03.02.08 I was told that another letter A (also marked in a shield) which stand on a EP spoon could be intended as an indication of quality. But can you tell us if your tray is silver or silvered, it isn't EP that's for sure. If the decoration of the tray on the blade is hand engraved it's beautiful done. I've bought a tray made in Germany (modern one) and the rand decoration was soldered at the blade. Is your blade made out of one piece? What considering the letter A you're wright I think it is made in 1824. Enjoy your tray and success with the topic answers and hobby. Silverhunter. IP: Logged |

They are not Sheffield marks. I'm afraid I am not familiar enough with the various "pseudo marks" used round the world to add anything more helpful. IP: Logged |

Hi Alice and welcome to the forum. You would more likely get an informative response if you take a few minutes and go back and read the guidelines for this forum at Guidelines We are just a small group of people who like silver and as you will see when you read these instructions we ask new people to please introduce themselves by sharing a little information on their interest in silver in general and why they are asking about the particular objects in their posting. Your photos are well done and will be helpful in identifying what you have. Thanks! Kimo [This message has been edited by Kimo (edited 06-01-2008).] IP: Logged |

Lets see if a very poor enlargement of the poor photo of the marks helps us? IP: Logged |
