Author	Topic: Some Trademarks we'd like to identify
Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 06-18-2002 11:12 AM Hello All, Trefid sends along these coin silver trademarks, often called "Pseudo-hallmarks", which we have been unable to ascribe to a particular maker. Does anyone have other pieces with these marks, or any idea whose they might have been? I believe that we had an earlier thread that tentatively ascribed mark 6 to Morgan Morgans, the little known entity who bought out Albert Coles. These marks were found on: #1: H-H double-die-struck butter knife 7.25 in. #2: 2 H-H double-die-struck butter knives, 2 different patterns #3: pickle/pastry fork, twisted, engraved & engine-turned, 5.875 in. F-H pie knife, twisted, engraved & engine-turned, 9.25 in. #4: F-H double-die-struck fork and knife, pattern very like Gorham's PRINCESS, but with added engraved fishing scenes on the handles #5: gravy ladle and tablespoon, twisted & engraved #6: 2 H-H double-die-struck butter knives, 2 different patterns Thanks for any help you can provide!

Marc Posts: 414 Registered: Jun 2002	posted 06-18-2002 07:38 PM Hi there Brent, If anyone knows of these marks it is my good friend John R. McGrew.. That is unless Trefid is Mr. McGrew. If they are different entities get in touch with me and I will provide you with Mr. McGrew's phone #. The latest information I have from him is in his "3 and 4 part Pictoial House Marks", but this work dates from 1992. Marc Cutcher IP: Logged

And if the pattern is similar to a Gorham pattern...perhaps this mark designates a special relationship between Gorham and some retailer? IP: Logged
