[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3225918, member: 8708"]These lovelies were waiting for me today in the costume earrings tray at our weekly antiques fair! A whole £1 and they were in my clutches :shame:. The hallmark is stumping me. Full hallmark on the wires and part on the dangles. There is a 9, .375, S in a circle and something that may or may not be a leopards head but it’s very vague and could be anything. There are a whole lot of other marks on the wires that are indistinguishable. There are a couple of date letters I’ve tracked down that are an S in a circle, if it is a date letter, all from the late 19th C. c1.5cm not including the wires. The other oddity is that they are a pair but not a pair. One is slightly smaller than the other and has a textured reverse whereas the other is smooth.Hallmarks are the same on both wires and both dangles. Id be very interested in your thoughts on these please. I found a few other bits and pieces that I’ll post tomorrow on one lot. Thanks for looking :) [ATTACH=full]296934[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296937[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296938[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296939[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296940[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296941[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
