Can anyone help me identify this hallmark? It is on a silverplate tea kettle. Thank-you.

Can anyone help me identify the function, approximate age and/or country of origin of this item? I purchased at a local thrift store.

It appears to be made of silver and glass. I do not see any maker's marks.
The top, which is attached by a chain to the body, comes off to access an interior glass cylindrical compartment. Overall size is 10" x 1 1/4".

An incense holder and a jewish scroll holder have been previously suggested, but I haven't been able to obtain a firm identification.


Any help would be appreciated. Thank-you.

I have a 12 pc. silver spoon set by Lazarus Posen, but I can't find any other sets like these on the Internet

I have a cast iron bell - I think it was on old school bell because the clanger is worn on both sides from use. The only markings on it is a #8 and it measures 17.5 dia and 12.5 tall. Was hoping someone could tell me who the mfg, age, and approx. selling price for this item.

I have just come across this silver piece that I believe might be a pounce pot. Hoping someone might know something about it.

It is about 10cm high. It is solid silver with no nickel (bends easily and tarnish removes readily). It has a rounded bottom but is weighted internally to keep it upright. Unlike other pounce pots it only has one orifice at the apex of the emblem. The emblem is either a flame or bird of paradise and serves as a handle to unscrew the top. The cap that holds the weight inside is anchored by a bolt with a handmade nut.

thanks for your help.

Mike
