THAT wasn't easy.
We had/have a bottle coaster, seldom, if ever, used. Its value may as well be in my pocket as some House-clearer? With that in mind I cleaned it and gave it a severe coat of looking at; to establish its age etc.
"From the left - NUMBER!!"
HBs&H - NO problem - the manufacturer(s) Harrison Bros. & Howson.
Wee Beastie - Lurking Lion (Apparently it's "Passant", not Couchant)- Sterling Silver.
925 ≈ the same = 92.5% Silver.
Next wee Beastie - apparently a Leopard, nobody EVER said it was "Def" - Hallmarked in London.
NOW we come to the bitter bit - what year? Every one I pulled up to look at seemed to ignore the 21st Century. so - lower case "g" = 1962 WEIRD!! We weren't in the Shop until '95. Clever Clicky sought successfully and tied it to 2006. BUT when you look you'll maybe understand why I misdated it?
