Oh lovely,

Hi everyone

Does anyone know if a gentleman called Alfred Fawcett ran the business?

I only ask as he's a distant relation and I heard he did and would be interested to find out.

Cheers

Hello everyone, we have recently come into ownership of what appears to be a JD&S silver teapot but it is difficult to pin down it age and value. On the bottom of the pot are the markings

 

22

A symbol which looks like two three forks in the shape of a cross

JD&S followed by what looks like a crown

11842

4

 

The base is completely flat

The lid has a visible hinge and also has what looks like an ivory lid knob

 

 

 

I have some images but am unable to post on this forum

 

Thank you for any information

Thank you for putting up the images hillsbro. After closer inspection the mark shows it as JR&S (John Round & Sons) and after investigtion online the markings show it to be silver plated :-( still its a nice piece of history and I had fun researching it :-) thank you Sheffield forum too.

Recently obtained the following item with other stuff and am wondering what exactly it is.

No idea what the metal is.

The item is a cube with each side being around one and a half inches.

It has an opening lid.

Inside stamped at the bottom is James Dixon & Sons Sheffield plus the number 42 above

Here is a clearer image of the trade mark..:)

 

This is a Joseph Round mark, it does resemble Joseph Rodgers slightly.
