[01-3014] I have this sterling silver shot "glass" marked "Cole". Is anyone familiar with this maker? I would be glad to send you a photo if that will help. Thank you for any information. IP: Logged |

Jersey I can't help with the maker, but am I right in thinking this is your first posting of a picture? If so, congratulations. And if I am wrong, apologies for an irrelevant interjection. David IP: Logged |

Hi David! Thanks for your kind words. Yes, this is my first photo posting, done with a lot of help from a friend who has a Mac. Hopefully I can do more on my own. I'm trying since I have many questions about makers etc. I have some English pieces too that maybe you can help with. Jersey IP: Logged |

Let me add my congratulations also. Great photo. Also it is a very attractive cup, but I am at a loss as to who the maker is. IP: Logged |

Thanks ahwt, for your support as well. I just discovered the notes my friend gave me for help I lost on the way home!!!! Hopefully I left them with him. I'm such a dummy after all this time. I'm exhausted after the hours he spent trying to help me to learn how to do it! I did take the pictures myself though, with my Mavica, which I still consider the best camera! Just found the paperwork! Yeah! Jersey Jersey IP: Logged |

Ran across this again in my files, have been meaning to more research before posting, but clearly, am not going to find the time, so will just add what I have. Have seen your mark on mid 20th century hand-wrought sterling organic/modernist jewelry, and have also seen the posted spoon's Cole 'face' mark on similar, but not identical pieces. Suspect that it is the same person, but haven't really done any further research. The 1942 patent for the little shaker salt spoon gives the name of the gentleman, Charles H. Cole of Montclair, NJ, who used the 'face' mark, which I've seen on the salt spoon, though it usually shows up without a maker's mark (there's also a matching open salt). ~Cheryl From Jzyk & Robinson's Open Salt Compendium (2002), incorrectly described as circa 1900-20s Arts & Crafts style: IP: Logged |

Cheryl Sorry I just caught your response.Thank you so much for that info. Maybe something will come up at a later date. Wonder is the applied leaf has any significance, perhaps for the Maple leaf of Canada....a shot glass for the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team....LOL! My Devils almost made it this year......now the lockout! Jersey IP: Logged |

Ah that face mark is posted somewhere else in the forums from some time ago but can't remember right now any other details about the related piece so not sure how in the world to find it. IP: Logged |

Excuse me if this is obvious to the rest in the group. I just realized that the face is created by the letters in COLE C&O are the eyes L the nose and the E on it's back is the mustache. Sorry if I have pointed out the obvious. I do like that this mystery is solved. Fred IP: Logged |

Jersey: I have recently picked up this piece signed A D Cole and have not been able to find out anything about this smith. I note the similarity of the kinked stem on my piece to one of the leaves on yours, and although the stamps are different I believe there is a relationship. I also understand stamps were expensive to have made and figure he/she must have made enough pieces to be better known.    [This message has been edited by vathek (edited 08-03-2014).] IP: Logged |
