[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 51998, member: 481"]Hi, This (British) pewter tankard is about 9cm tall and was a charity shop find from a while ago. I've struggled with the marks, since I'm not familiar with pewter, and hope someone might be able to help date the tankard, approximately? Also, does it have any value? There are various marks on the outside rim - some look like they've been over-stamped. The easiest to read is WIV over a Staffordshire knot, with the number 2 underneath. I've searched online for the knot associated with pewter but can only find a couple of images on the National Trust website, with no notes attached. Inside the mug, on the base (which has seen better days!) there's some lettering that could be 'V & W' and 'INGH', possibly from Birm'ingh'am? Above this there's what looks like a very worn 'X'? Any help appreciated! I keep coming back to this tankard but can't seem to get very far!
