[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 220812, member: 59"]Yes, the Charles J Allen mark is different (which you should have been able to see on the previously provided links - but here is the page again [URL]http://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_A.html[/URL] ) Note that the site says Allen & Darwin to 1922 and Charles J Allen their successor began use of his own mark in 1923. I'm not good at dating English flatware patterns, but if you got a better focused picture of the handle design, one of our UK contributors may have thoughts on when such a pattern might have been produced to help narrow down the date range.[/QUOTE]
