Featured RSPCA Donation, Beautiful Silver Bottle & Funnel Hallmarked, Any Ideas?

Hi everyone

I have had donated a lovely little silver bottle, threaded lid and Funnel, they look to be a set, I have tried to get clear shots of the hallmarks, if anyone can give me any pointers or links to similar it would be much appreciated

Many thanks

Martin

PS the 2nd and third images are the hallmarks on the funnel and the last image is the hallmark on the thread of the lid.

 

I agree that it is a set - perfume bottle with stopper and funnel. Assayed in London in 1989. The AN mark is for Ari D Norman, luxury goods purveyor, apparently still in business because they have a website - see entry on silvermarks. Perfume bottles as specialty.

WOW, Susan!

 

Good morning, silverthwait!

 

There's something about that 925 in balance scales mark that's scratching at the back of my brain. I know I've seen it before but I'll need another cup of coffee to remember where.

 

That was fast! "Common Control Mark" - under the international convention on precious metals marking. See here - http://www.silvercollection.it/dictionaryhallmarkingUK.html

 

Lovely Set!!!!

 

I had one of those, bought for me as a gift in the late 70s. Bit odd to get a mix of conventional and common control marks.

However, it is not such a bad idea to give @Bakersgma another pat on the back for all the help she gives out to the those in need of help with their silver items.

 

Awwww. Thanks, Peggy!

 

Ditto, that! Baker's help is so appreciated.
