nihontochicken Posts: 289 Registered: May 2003	posted 11-24-2004 05:08 PM Hi! Would like to inquire as to whether (please, without much work!) someone might be able to identify the date and origin of the following marks beyond where my Tardy can get me. Seems it is likely early 19th century Austrian or perhaps German, 13 loth (.8125 fine). The shape is Old English Pattern with Celtic Point (or the continental equivalent), with no drop, no shoulders, and with very round bowl exhibiting the typical German flared rim. The maker's mark is "HOHLEUS", hallmark is "13" within an oval border, with little hooks on the lower left ends of both the "1" and the "3". TIA for any info!!! IP: Logged

nihontochicken Posts: 289 Registered: May 2003	posted 11-30-2004 12:07 PM The second "H" could possibly be an "R", but I doubt it. Though it would be nice to identify the maker, I'm really more interested in accurately placing the date of manufacture, which the "13" mark may do as well or better than the maker's mark, should one have a detailed listing of these loth fineness marks (I don't, just have good old Tardy). Thanks! IP: Logged
