jonchris Posts: 2 Registered: Jul 2005	posted 07-07-2005 06:34 AM Hi all, new to this so apologies in advance. A family item I would like to know more about. Sugar sifter which I think is Birmingham 1811 dated but the anchor is almost gone so it may not be an anchor! The makers mark would help but can't trace it T.HH I am also curious as to why there is no duty mark ? I hope the picture is OK. Glad of any help to trace the maker or confirm the date. IP: Logged

HAZLEWOOD, a manufacturer who specialised in small hollow-ware such as casters. Hope this helps! IP: Logged
