Doesn't look French, if not WMF, No 2 is Kayzerzinn.

Frank, I thought all of Ray's photo's were for the same item. :?

No 2 choice, I meant

I think WMF did Pewter too, I think it is Edelzinn in German.

Hi Ray,
The nearest thing that I can find is the "cockrel" mark which was used in France on silver pieces between 1798 and 1819. Unfortunately even with increasing the size I cannot read what is written around the cockrel.......presuming that my eyesight isn't failing and it isn't a bird at all :!:
Della :lol:

tigerchip's was spot on it's a Gallia Christofle piece made anywhere between 1880 and the early 1900's, could have be made for caviar
