Gold Hallmark Question on Old Gold Watch Fob by: YVonne Hammouda-Eyre
Hi David the gold marks on the old watch fob tell us:
A&C 9 .375 also 2 boxs. first box is an anchor sideways 2nd box--is small letter h
A&C are the makers mark sideways anchor is the Birmingham assay office mark 375 with decimal point before 375 means the piece was hallmarked prior to 1975 - 9ct gold fineness
the date mark is the letter h, the style of the date mark, the "h" will tell you the date, in this case, before 1975. Without the benefit of a photo to see the date mark is impossible to determine the exact year. When date is determined you can than work out the makers, A&C in Birmingham.
