Any help with educating me with the above attached photos of marks will be much appreciated.
Thank youstrong text
Your second and third photos show marks that are on objects by James Deakin & Sons, Sheffield. The “JD&S” is followed by a heavily-rubbed “EP” on its side, standing for electroplate, followed by a mark of some sort - Deakin was known to use a crown or other symbol. Dating from 1871-1898.
The first photo shows the mark of Dutch electroplate by Herbert Hooijkaas, Schoonhoven, early 20th Century.
I’ve seen items for sale on places like eBay that claim that the “90” indicates .900 purity silver, but these are not true Dutch silver hallmarks, so that seems highly unlikely.
Needless to say, I’m drawing a blank on the fourth photo.
The 4th image appears to be an upside down 9214.

I agree. If it is, of course, it means virtually nothing - it’s just a catalog number applied by some forgotten maker of silverplate.
Thank you very much for your time and information.
Shall now google further
Cheers
