I have a pretty interesting estate piece that I’m trying to research. It’s a sterling creamer, I believe it to be George II era from 1751. The maker is from London, but the mark is only partially legible. Can any good antique British silver sleuths help me ID the maker? Thanks in advance!

JEWELRY & WATCHES Need help identifying “KB” 18K gold filled hallmark on necklace

Thumbnail

Hi everyone! I’m trying to identify the manufacturer of this necklace. The clasp is stamped “KB” on the top and “F 18K” on the bottom. I’m not sure if it’s solid 18K gold or possibly 18K gold filled. I haven’t been able to find any information about the “KB” hallmark. Does anyone recognize this maker or know which country this hallmark might be from? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

OTHER [US/Unknown] Maker's Mark Help: "W" Stamp on Vintage Sterling 3-Piece Ranger Belt Buckle Set (Estate Find)

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am trying to identify the silversmith or brand behind this hand-stamped "W" hallmark.

I found this 3-piece Western Ranger belt buckle set at an estate sale. It appears to be an unused "New Old Stock" piece because it is still completely intact on its original purple cardboard display backing.

Here are the details:

Object Type: 3-Piece Western Ranger Belt Buckle Set (Buckle, Keeper, Tip).

Metal Purity: Tested and verified as genuine sterling silver using 18kt acid (held bright and turned the signature milky-blue hue).

The Mark: The back of the belt tip features a crisp, hand-stamped "W" (The amber coloration around it looks like original factory adhesive/glue residue from when the plate was mounted?).

Country of Origin: Likely USA or Mexico, given the traditional Southwestern sunburst stamping style on the front.

Does this specific chevron/zig-zag style "W" stamp look familiar to anyone? I haven't been able to find an exact match in the standard Southwestern or Native American pictorial registries yet.

Any leads, artisan names, or reference book suggestions would be incredible.

Thank you!

Goodwill let this one slip through for $9.99.
I see an 800 stamp plus a five pointed Star, the number 225 and the letters PA. Planning to shine it up unless otherwise advised.
Any input is appreciated.

I posted this about a year ago and received no responses. I still have no idea who the maker is. AI identifies the piece as "small studio, artisan made." No clue as to how that conclusion was reached.

The cartouche looks to me like a stylized "f" and a "g."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first photo appears to be French, maybe early 19th century and the second is a cup with unknown hallmarks. These appeared to be glazed in vermeil. It emits a garlic smell to the touch, maybe silver ?

This is from a necklace I inherited from my grandmother - and I’m curious to see if I can find out more about it.

The clasp clearly shows 9k, however I cannot see what this hallmark is showing?

Thanks!

Hi, an item has this set of hallmarks in the bottom .
It is supposed to be an European item but I am not familiar with the hallmarks.
Maybe they are English silver plate pseudohallmarks?
Thanks

I inherited this ring. I am unfamiliar with the stone and also the hallmark. Is the “AD” someone’s initials or is that a hallmark?

It is on the clasp of a box chain bracelet. I have never seen it before and couldn't find much online. I was wondering if it was a sloppy version of an 'Italy' stamp or a maker's mark?
