The item itself is a oval bracelet with either copper or gold maple leaves. Artist identification- P.P. and Company- We have no idea when and where it was manufacture or who the artisan was. As my family arrived to Canada from the Channel Islands, it maybe from there, but the family also had a few merchant sea Captains who sailed the Atlantic Ocean. The Bracelet is not for sale as it is part of the family. The history the bracelet may hold is the question. If you can help it would be most appreciated. Thank you. David Hue IP: Logged |

This is a tough one. The evidence, though sketchy, seems to point to a Canadian origin. For one, the maple leaf motif, which is very popular in Canada and almost nowhere else. Secondly, Canadian silver manufacturers often used English-looking hallmarks like yours. Third, you are from Canada. Fourth, there was a famous Canadian silversmith, Carl Poul Petersen, who used a stylized PP mark. Circumstantial evidence, but it does tend to lean towards Canada. If you can take a glass to the small marks you can't decipher, see if one or both resemble a lion's head surrounded by a wishbone-shaped C. This is the standard mark for Canadian silver, and it can be very small. IP: Logged |
