<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 104030, member: 44"]I haven't had any luck on IDing these pewter touchmarks. I believe it is fairly recent marks for I don't see any of the old country quality marks or city marks. The present of the crown and teapot touchmarks with the conjoined AH seem to scream British, but for some reason doubt it? I search the pages I saved from Pat's wonderful Pewter Tankards & Flagons (<a href="http://pewtertankardsflagons.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pewtertankardsflagons.com" rel="nofollow">http://pewtertankardsflagons.com</a>) pewter website with no luck. His site was probably best pewter marks site online bar none. After he died, I saved the pages from his site. I also thumbed through some of the pewter marks reference books I have:</p><p><i>1.
