Anne:

--- Quote from: Bernard C --- and look out for SOS lidded cube sugars with integral sprung tongs — as both Davidson and Walsh made them (yes, Walsh did make pressed glass tableware),

I have one of these (not Spiderweb) which I have been trying to identify a maker for... I didn't know Walsh made these sugars as well, very interesting Bernard. :)

Bernard C:
Anne — unfortunately I don't recognise the pattern on your SOS cube sugar.

My two are:

Davidson — Fostoria American / Georgian pattern in flint, also made in jade (1931-34).   SOS lid marked "LLTD" on the side of the rim in relief, in a wide shield-shaped frame like a hallmark.

Walsh — as Reynolds fig.118 (i) which shows a conventionally metal lidded preserve jar with two rows of the pattern; this SOS cube sugar is lower and has just one row.   Identical SOS lid except marked "W L° C" in the first shield-shaped hallmark and then in a second rectangular one "A".   The tiny "O" in this mark could just be a badly formed "D" for Ltd.

I have looked for possible makers in Mappin's EPNS marks, but there are no obvious candidates.

Bernard. This is a sugar lump bowl I picked up yesterday for 75p Is it English or American? There are some markings in between the 'petals' of the sunburst  base but I can't quite make them out.
The base is heavily scratched suggesting some use and some age. Would you put this one as the 30's?
The lid markings are the same as you describe with the two shields. One elongated and one small square.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Doris

Bernard C:
Doris — thanks for the photograph, particularly showing the maker's mark on the lid.

Again, as with Anne's example, I don't recognise the pattern.    It looks English or mainland European to me.

Thanks for your reply Bernard. My feeling is English and I am sure this design  I have seen on a wine glass somewhere but where :?
Will let you know if I do find out.

Cheers
Doris
