Sterling & Glass Match Strike...London-1913...Maker Mark Help??

I think I have the city & date correct.. Maker ???

 

Yes, it does appear to be London, 1913. The maker's punch is a total mess, though, and I couldn't find anything conclusive.

Fascinating thing. I had not seen glass strikers before and was skeptical that the glass ribs would do the job, but a quick search showed me oodles of them. Learn something new everyday here!

 

Here are a few better pictures...It look like W.B.S????

I was lucky to find these last week. last

 

Here's a link to the London WB section on a very good maker's mark site.

There isn't one that matches yours, although there are some later ones that might be subsequent mark registrations for a firm for which earlier marks are missing.

Frankly, as AF would say "some blokes in a shed." I doubt that identifying the maker would make a difference.

Nice finds! Were they all together?

 

Yes..They were all together.

Thanks,As Always!!..For your help!

 

I would not have known what these were. Thanks for sharing, learned something! A quick search shows these sell for some pretty good money.

Gorgeous find!

 

Nice Sperls...very nice !!!

 

I never heard of these either? Something else to keep my eyes open for.

 

They're fairly common here, both with and without the silver collar.
