hillholl Posts: 39 Registered: Oct 2005	posted 10-23-2005 09:50 PM Here I am again, hat in hand, no picture. I have a napkin ring, on the outside it says "E.R.B. XMAS 1876 in old English script. (that something wrong but learned XMAS was used for hundreds of years) The hallmark is a standing lion, then an anchor, then a capital G. Sterling, 330 then a capital I. I know the anchor is Birmingham Eng, but I can't find the standing lion in correlation to the anchor on the net. I figured the G was a date mark. Don't know what the 300 is for or the capital I. (I am 55 and this was my great grandmothers.) IP: Logged
