Author	Topic: H.E.S.P. hallmark
JMelissaB Posts: 5 Registered: Dec 2004	posted 12-18-2004 12:46 PM I just purchased a silverplate teapot that has the following markings on the bottom: L821 inside a diamond with the letters H. E. S. and P. at each corner. The S. and P. could stand for "silverplate"; however, I can't find any information on this hallmark. Does anyone have any guesses? ------------------ Melissa IP: Logged

JMelissaB Posts: 5 Registered: Dec 2004	posted 12-23-2004 08:47 PM Thanks. I looked at this website before my initial posting because I didn't run across anything relative to H.E. or H.E.S.P. I even tried searching using the hallmark in the search parameters - no luck. I thought another, more knowledgeable, collector might know. IP: Logged
