Attached are photos of hallmarks for a bracelet I just purchased. Can someone please advise me of the maker and date? Thanks for any help.

Hi. Very nice bracelet. Is that an anchor in the middle? Is there a small s on the end of the H.BR_ ? It could be Haseler Bros of Birmingham in 1909.

Hi
Thanks very much for speedy response. you're right it does have a little s.

The K appears to be gothic to me so I wonder about the year. If its gothic wold that be a little bit earlier?

I bought it from ebay and they didnt have any details apart from saying it was probably 1950s which I didnt think was right.

Thanks again looking forward to any more advice

cheers

ps - forgot to mention it does have a little anchor too in the middle

Birmingham, 1884. So definitely not 1950s! And that date ties up very nicely with when Haseler Brothers first registered their maker's mark, November 1883.
