  2. See here: https://www.churchco.com/
  3. Pocket watch chain, actually not niello but beautiful patina (tarnish) in deep relief décor. Imported to Vienna 1901- 1921 (there is letter A on the left side within the mark).

  5. It was made by Los Ballesteros, the most prominent silversmith in Taxco, Mexico. Founded 1937. Google for los ballesteros hallmark and enjoy.

  7. It is a souvenir ``ceramica`` from Florence, Tuscany, Italy.

  14. No appraisal needed; a small encircled C means it is a COPY (fair and square). I doubt it`s gold, either, but it can be tested with electronic tester without damaging the coin.
  15. They are commonly referred as Murano glass candies, but made elsewhere, too.
  16. Based on ‚‚Fes‚‚ lettering on the back it is not antique, probably a vintage souvenir, but well made.

  23. Souvenir beaker from spa Teplitz, Bohemia, custom engraved to somebody who dedicated it in 1838 with the words ...in Teplitz I was thinking only of you.

  34. Great find. I think they can be easily and securely mounted with expansion anchors and brass screws with the head or hook big enough to enable secure hanging (inserted through the holes of the lamps)....
  35. Sheffield assay office (the crown), lion passant for sterling fineness, date letter m for year 1929 and maker`s mark Thomas Bradbury & Sons Ltd,Arundel Street, Sheffield
  36. French marks: Minerva head in profile guarantee nark and maker`s mark in lozenge (initial and a symbol between). Not in focus for positive identification of the maker.

  43. International Silver Company, Meriden, Connecticut. Founded 1898.

  45. Glasgow assay office 1956.
  46. Olive or compote spoon meant to pick up olives or fruit without liquid. Pierced holes are rather big for a sugar sifter, particularly for powdered sugar. Having in mind compote (cooked fruits) was se...
