snappything   10 #75 Posted August 9, 2006 HI EVERYONE! DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THE INFORMATION I WAS LOOKING FOR REGARDING JAMES DIXON AND SONS, SHEFFEILD. HERE ARE THE URL'S THAT MAY HELP THE REST OF YOU WITH FINDING THE MARKS, AGE OF THE MARKS, SILVER, SILVERPLATE, AND THE GREAT FLOOD OF 1864. ww.silvercollection.it/silverplatehallmarksJJ.html[/url] ww.925-1000.com/dlSheffield.html[/url] ww.silvercollection.it/electroplatesilver.html[/url] ttp://freespace.virgin.net/a.data/sheffplate.htm[/url] ww.mick-armitage.staff.shef.ac.uk/sheffield/flood.html[/url] THERE ARE NO VIRUSES IN ANY OF THESE SIGHTS. I SPENT HOURS FINDING THESE SIGHTS AS THE BOOK ABOUT MARKS I CANNOT FIND IN THE STATES. ISBN 1-901587-52-5 THE SIGHT ABOUT THE FLOOD IS REMARKABLE AND FULL HOURS OF READING AND PICTURES. TRAGIC LIVES LOST. INTERESTING STORIES OF SURVIVAL. LIKE THE LITTLE GIRL THAT WAS FOUND SLEEPING IN HER BED AFTER THE FLOOD WITH NOTHING LEFT BUT THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE AND HER ROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR. JUST THE CORNER OF HER ROOM JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR HER BED. SHE HEARD HER DAD, MOM AND BROTHERS GO DOWN THE STAIRS AND YELL FOR HELP AND THOUGHT THEY CAME BACK UP AND WENT TOO SLEEP...SO SHE WENT BACK TO SLEEP...SHE WAS THE ONLY SURVIVOR. JAMES DIXON AND SONS COMPANY WAS DAMAGED IN THE FLOOD AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT! THE MARKS I FOUND REGARDING JAMES DIXON AND SONS ARE VERY HELPFUL AND EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. HAPPY RESEARCHING AND READING EVERYONE! SNAPPYTHING~USA* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
