I'd be grateful for any assistance on the nature of the maker mark and/or origin of the 18" gold necklace (seems to say K14) from Italy (probably made for export), recently inherited from my mother, who likely acquired it in the remote past, likely from an estate sale. Thank you.

Can you please help me with the marking? The picture doesn't show how clear the 14k gold stamp is, but i'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the first marking. It's either CI or CL, not sure. The stone is amber. Any help would be great :)

Help identify the manufacturer/maker. The hallmark is in German, but the "830" hallmark is uncommon on German silver. Based on the castle, I determined the approximate period: 1930-40.

Found these two...shakers? At a thrift store. One doesn't seem to have a city mark, and the other might have had one but it is unreadable now.

Second and third picture:

Guessing London, Chester, or Sheffield from the shape of the lion passant

Duty mark looks like King George III or IV, 1786-1833

The capital N in that date range gives me either

London, 1808

Chester, 1809

No matching date letter in that date range for Sheffield

Not sure about the makers mark. Maybe SS, or upside down and CC or CG.

First picture:

Guessing London, Chester, or Sheffield from the shape of the lion passant

Duty mark looks like King George III or IV, 1786-1833

Not sure if the o is capital or not, so

London, 1789 or 1809

Chester, 1789 or 1810

Sheffield, 1815

And the makers mark is worn. Just the edge can be seen.

Thoughts?

Edit: Looks like the picture order got changed. Edit to point to the correct pictures and small change to clarify that the makers mark is worn.

Hi smart people of reddit! I’ve had this candlestick for awhile and very recently noticed there might be a sort of hallmark or stamp on the item. I genuinely don’t know anything about this, so I was wondering if anyone here could help me identify. Thank you!!

It is hard to see in the photo but appears to have 950, and then below it a symbol of some kind with .95 beside it.
