Hi, On a pair of silver brushes are the marks for Anchor/Birmingham, Lion/Sterling, t/1918; also what appears to be a stylized small cap "F", with the shorter arm pointed and more from the corner, and in an oval, AC Co Ld (d is actually a small cap). Could you id the maker for me and any ideas on the "F"? Tx, Jim

Hi - is it possible for you to post a photo? Where were the brushes found?

Are any of these your "f"? Might it be an import or export mark?

The AC Co.Ld in an oval is Alexander Clark & Co., Ltd., 20th century manufacturers.

Stephen, thanks again! I'm saving the really obscure stuff to the end! Jim

Great, I thrive on obscure stuff! Unfortunately, that "F" is too obscure for me.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Stephen, my thanks from yesterday seem to have escaped posting; just making sure you get them! Jim
