The frame is fully hallmarked for sterling silver, the assay town of Birmingham, and the date letter "g" for the year 1906. The maker's mark identifies it has been made by William Hutton & Sons Ltd. The firm was established in 1800 in the town of Birmingham by William Hutton, the firm was later transferred to Sheffield in 1832. With the death of the founder, the business was continued under the style of William Hutton by his son William Carr Hutton. The firm became William Hutton & Sons in 1864 and William Hutton & Sons Ltd from 1893 to 1930. In 1930 the firm was transferred to James Dixon & Sons Ltd.

have recently returned from France and England, so will be adding items as quickly as possible in time for the holidays. I will be adding more information to my listing over the next week.

I carried back small silver items and antiques. Several boxes of silver and larger antiques will be arriving over the next few weeks, and I have more items arriving by container in several weeks. I hope you will visit my shop frequently over the next few weeks to see the items from my latest "hunt".
