emjsea Posts: 6 Registered: Mar 2005	posted 03-30-2005 10:28 PM [26-0308] I have the following piece which I received from my grandparents estate several years ago, it's been packed away for awhile, but now I'd like to learn a bit about it. It's some kind of art nouveau box. Photo of box and makers mark included. The box... The mark Thanks very much in advance for any help. Michael IP: Logged
tmockait Posts: 963 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 03-30-2005 11:01 PM My sources also indicate Birmingham, 1901. I am sure some one with a copy of Jackson's hallmarks will tell you the maker. Otherwise, your local library may have a copy. Nice box! Tom IP: Logged

emjsea Posts: 6 Registered: Mar 2005	posted 03-31-2005 07:46 AM Thanks very much for all your help. I got quite an education in silver makers marks in two days of research on the internet. IP: Logged
Kimo Posts: 1652 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 03-31-2005 09:20 AM Your box is a nice example of nouveau style and since all of us on this forum are silver afficionados I am sure we would all like to see it from other angles to appreciate the design. Could you share some more photos of it with us - the top, the inside, the back? IP: Logged
emjsea Posts: 6 Registered: Mar 2005	posted 03-31-2005 05:50 PM Please pardon the incorrect post I made earlier (hopefully the mods deleted it. I tried to, but could not). Here are some more photos of the box which PhilO helped me identify on the 31st of March. IP: Logged
