Author	Topic: London Makers Mark 1886 - Help?
kinverroy Posts: 26 Registered: Apr 2005	posted 04-23-2005 06:49 AM I have a pair of silver hairbrushes belonging to my grandmother which are inscribed with her name 'Emma'. Am pretty sure that the Lion, Face and L with Duty Mark indicate 1886/7, london which would have tied in with her 21st Birthday. She was born in 1865. I am struggling with the maker's mark which is JR above SJ. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You IP: Logged
