Title: identifying Pewter Hallmark
Post by: valmont325 on June 29, 2013, 01:30:10 PM

I need help identifying this hallmark. Its a terrible photo because its inside a coffee pot.  It looks like an angel hallmark, iv seen a few similar ones online but the wording is really what i'm curious about.  Is it ?????? & Sons?      Any help is great, thanks.

Looks like another variant of the angel mark.
