bardtemp Posts: 2 Registered: Jun 2004	posted 06-06-2004 01:09 AM Hi, And thank you in advance for your help. I was left this Vinaigrette and I have not been able to determine exactly when and by whom it was made. I do not know how to put the pictures on here. If someone could help out I would appreciate it very much. It has the anchor, which means it was made in Manchester. It has a capital 'S', I think this means it was made in 1790 or 1816. It has the initials 'JI'. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider this puzzle. Brad IP: Logged

It is part of a BBC site for collectors, which is worth exploring. There is a link to a useful beginner's guide to silver and metalwork on the left of the page. IP: Logged
