<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 43009, member: 44"]Right, a definite sign that a piece is relatively new, 20th century. I also haven't had time to look through my pewter references; however, my pewter books are on 19th century and earlier pewter marks. Pat's pewter site on tankards, etc... was one if not the best pewter marks sites out there. After he died, I was still able to get to his pages via an archive web engine. No more!! Can't get to the archived pages any longer. I did save a few of his pewter marks pages on to my computer. Possibly later today, I'll have time to scan through them. I wish I could clearly see the 3rd mark. I can clearly see the Lion rampant and the lobster but not the one in the pointed ellipse, marquise, shape. The mark appears to have letters around the top and some sort of figure in the center. The figure may be a standing eagle, a person in an elaborate costume, or who knows maybe E.T. Have included a cropped brightened enlargement of that 3rd mark. Hopefully someone with younger eyes can make it out.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10795[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
