​Hallmarks: Fully hallmarked on the interior rim with the Maker’s Mark ‘JG & S’, the Anchor (Birmingham), the Lion Passant (Sterling Silver), and the date letter ‘c’ (1902).
​Condition Report:
The item is in very good antique condition. The hallmarks are exceptionally clear and crisp. There are no major dents or repairs; only light surface wear and a natural patina consistent with its 124-year age.
