What year is it?
An excellent book for finding your way around the different hallmarks. Easy to use and pocket sized, this enables you to take it with you when visiting flea maerkets or auctions. Well worth the money.

Simply simple.
This book makes the reading of hallmark's an easy process, after receiving many vintage items from my grandmother at christmas, I was intrigued to find out when they were made and where they came from. This book did it for me. I do not have much knowledge of hallmark's and the book made it a breeze, love it.

The Best Book Of Hallmarks
The Bradbury's book of hallmarks is a brilliant guide to understanding and reading hallmarks on gold, silver and platinum jewlery. It is a fantastic aid for begginers with the changes in markings described clearly and tables to explain the marks of origin, standard and date. Using this book a compleate begginer can read an entire set of hallmarks very quickly and easily without getting confused. The book itself is also small enough to slip in your pocket so that it is close to hand when you need it.

UK & Irish Hallmarks and Old Sheffield Plate Makers
This is the definitive list of Hallmarks on English, Scottish and Irish Silver, Gold and Platinum, as used by dealers, in a pocket sized edition.

The introduction demystified the marks and put them in a historical perspective and was good enough to enable me, a complete beginner, to use the guide confidently.

Also contains a section on Old Sheffield Plate, and a list of maker's marks.
