Could some one please refer me to a good reference book of silver marks. I have good reference on American and English. But can't seem to find another book with continental etc. marks.

Right now I am trying to locate this mark?

If your library doesn't have:

  • International Hallmarks on Silver by Tardy

It is recommended.

Thank you Scott.

It will be in my library soon!

If anyone can see the mark and can give any info in the meantime, I would appreciate it.

Your item was made by the Wilhelm Binder Company in Schwäbisch Gmünd (Germany). The company existed from the late 1860's until the early 1960's.

What sort of item is your mark on and can you tell us your estimate of its age?

Thanks so much for the info!!

This is just a silver rim on a cut crystal bowl. I do not think it is old at all! Finding out it is as old as the 1960's is a revelation.

Thanks again!
