    Could use help with maker and dating. I thought it was 1863 “h” but does not seem to correspond to Benjamin Smith II. Clearly, I am going down the wrong path.

      The lion passant means sterling. The crowned leopards head means London.
      The lower case ‘b’ is for 1897 or 1817.

      The SS SS Mark is a maker’s mark.

      Ok it is a “b”. I see that now (actually, the photo was much clearer than my eyesight). That makes more sense. 1817, I believe that would correspond to the “BS” for Benjamin Smith II. Unless I am misinterpreting the makers mark.

      Well done vetraio50! Does the date mark align and how desirable are the works of this father son team?
    5. vetraio50 vetraio50, 5 years ago
      The 1817 is totally correct. Love the marks but what does the piece look like ???

      Way to go Kevin!!! You nailed this one! I don't even know what the heck the piece is! Lol

      It is a lovely candlestick....very heavy too! I am new to the forum. How do I include a photo in my reply?

      Well done Kevin....

      Daniel you might make a new post completely. You can then add four photos of the piece from different angles.
