<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 18193, member: 44&quot;]Terry, this touchmark seems to be an &quot;Unidentified modern marks.&quot; Pat&#039;s old pewter site site that can be access through the &quot;Internet Archive WaybackMachine,&quot;&nbsp; has the mark on his &quot;Unidentified Marks&quot; page, Following is a link to the page. It took several seconds for the page to load for me this morning. I was afraid it wouldn&#039;t. Soooo if slow, do let it keep trying.</p><p>3rd down on the left:</p><p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110823180421/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_29_Unidentified-marks" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110823180421/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_29_Unidentified-marks" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20110823180421/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_29_Unidentified-marks</a></p><p><br /></p><p>On the same site I tried to ID the country-of-origin of yours from overall shape and handle. The closest was French metric measures. There are pics of 3 of them. The one without a lid looks very much like yours. The following info was given:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Metric Measures, throughout the 19th century and into</p><p>the 20th century. Three types: lid falls inside the collar,</p><p>lid falls outside and no lid.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Scroll a good 3/4ths of the way down the page or the 4th set of pics **up** from the bottom of the page:</p><p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110818134453/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_8_French-shapes" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110818134453/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_8_French-shapes" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20110818134453/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_8_French-shapes</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Nowww I only looked at the first 4 countries/regions by shape. When I saw these French measures, I didn&#039;t look any further. Do look at all the pages of the shapes by country/region. The country by shapes page links are in the index down the left side of the webpages.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
