Old pewter plate age? (Pictures of hallmarks included)

Any idea on the age of a pewter plate? Thank you!

 

Hello, Jess Bruce. You might want to search through the linked reference in this Forum. https://www.antiquers.com/threads/pewter-marks.25690/

 

Thank you. I took a peak it’s pretty confusing to navigate. I couldn’t find a place where it listed hallmarks so I could try and match up at least the three mermaids stacked vertical on top of each other or what that primitive crown with an X under it meant.

 

Unfortunately, the second and third marks are so worn that I suspect that even if there were a "hallmarks section" it would be difficult to pick them out.

The "Marks" section (1 and 2) give general identifying tips based on the commonly used shapes and formats. If you scroll way down in this one https://web.archive.org/web/20101128112457/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_2_-Marks

you will find that a "crown over X" is shown as a "Dutch pseudo hallmark."

 

There are some examples of what I "think" I see. These are from Cotterell's book of marks.

I think I see DON for LONDON. Also SUPER FINE METAL (METTLE, something like that.) Crown X. The lower portion of a mark with a scroll-ish ending in LL.

The other looks like maybe three lions laying down in a shield. Didn't find that yet.



Just examples of the sort of things I think I see but not yours. Perhaps you can compare to yours and see it they are similar.

 

Sorry for the late reply: thank you!

To me inside the shield it looks like three mermaids with their little tail fins.

 

This is the exact mark I see on the plate! Cool!

 

Here is more info from the same book on the crowned X mark though by itself it's not very helpful.
