    Antiques/hallmarks/maker stamps

    Ok a long shot, but can anyone point me in the right direction to establish a value for some silver wine 'goblets' that were given to my son.

    All i can see on the bottom are

    H.O.L and E.P.N.S

    I'm guessing they're of dutch origin but i can't seem to find anything through the usual search engines.

    Any info appreciated

    cheers

    E.P.N.S Is Electro Plated Nickle silver mate. The metal they will be actually made of is tin and it is then plated with nickle silver. This techniqe isnt old neithe I'm affraid, you talking about the 1930s. H.O.L will be a makers name.

    Yes. You have.......replied to a post that's now six years old. Congratulations, you win a picture of your missus 'spread eagald' across the bonnet of a 'greman' car.
