I had similar thoughts on all the markings, there should be a way to figure out more detail on when/where they were made. They are pewter right? Trying to think (believe me it's harder than it sounds) if I've seen anything other than gold or silver with hallmarks before. Good luck in your research

Thanks yes pewter

Looks like pewter to me too. ...Hey, as long as the engine still fires. Just give it a little time in the winter to warm up.
...Fe Fi Fo Fom I think we need an Englishman on those hallmarks. Canadians, etc. always graciously accepted as well

I can't tell you much on the hallmarks, definitely not something I'm particularly familiar with. VR is for Queen Victoria and GR is for King George, that's all I recognize.

Hey CanadianBottles,

Thanks for stepping up and kicking in with that info. ..."Which George?" becomes the next fair question. Hopefully your web site lead will yield answers. ...Have a NHL favorite this season?
