This handy-sized guide is drawn from the extensively revised edition of Jackson's Silver and Gold Marks of England, Scotland and Ireland, published by the Antique Collectors' Club in 1989. Ever since... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The order was shipped very quickly. So quickly in fact my Mother didn't even realize she had already received the book. Luckily she found it where her husband said he put it. Thank you.
Excellent!!

This is a great little book! Easy to use to look up maker's marks while out antiquing, or at auctions, or what-have-you.I just wish there was a section of Russian Silversmiths Marks. But other than that... A+!
Take it antiquing with you!

This is a great little book to take antiquing with you if you collect English silver. Although not exactly pocket size it can still fit in your bag or you can hold on to it without it getting cumbersome. Unlike many of the other silver ID books the hallmarks shown in this book are large and clear enough that you don't need your glasses to decipher them. A nice plus is that it reviews selected makers of Georgian through 20th Century silver and offers a little comment on their work.
