Identifying antique silver marks??
5 years ago
I have a few pieces of silver that were my great grandparents. The store hallmark is easily enough to decipher as Harris and Shafer, but I’m not sure where to look up the manufacturer’s symbols. There are plenty of lions and crowns, but I can t find ones that match these
Any suggestions?
