john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 5:34 pm I can't really tell you which metals they are but the first two appear to be sterling silver because of the hallmarks if you didn't already know that. If you post a close up of the hallmarks I can tell you where and when the were made that might help you a bit. Report this Post to the Staff

john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 7:48 pm #1 Top - Birmingham England made in either 1921 or 1946 I cant see it clear enough to tell definitively. Crafted by Herbert Bushell & Son. #2 bottom - Birmingham England I can't make out the date letter clearly it could be as old as 1910 if it is a lower case L. You didn't include the maker mark on this one so I can't help you there. You can google "the assay office / Date letter" to make a comparison yourself Forgot to include that yes they are sterling 92.5% silver Edited by john517 02/03/2013 7:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
