The hallmark on the back side says Sterling, A&L. The hallmark "A&L" was made by Adie & Lovekin (The firm began its business as Adie & Lovekin, Snape Street, Hockley, Birmingham around 1872). This bracelet was made approximately between 1872 to 1889 since "A&L" was the hallmark used during this time. After 1889 the Adie & Lovekin hallmark became A&L, Ltd. The company manufactured a wide range of silver fancy goods at the end of the 19th century and had a factory in Regent Street, Hockley, Birmingham. In 1894 they commissioned Mansell & Mansell to design a new factory at 23, Frederick Street, Birmingham which became known as "Trafalgar Works". The firm entered various hallmarks at Birmingham Assay Office (1879, 1902, 1906) and Chester Assay Office (1883, 1909). The Chester 1913 hallmark was entered by Alfred Lovekin, Frederick Simmons and George Deeby ( Alfred Lovekin was the director). Adie & Lovekin Ltd were leading Birmingham producers of sewing items, scissors, button hooks, pin cushions, babies rattles, bookmarks, nurses buckles and other novelty silver items; their speciality being animal shaped pin cushions in the form of pigs, swans, elephants and even camels.

Shipping International buyers: Please email us before auction ends for shipping prices to your country. International Shipping Rates: Ebay recently added UPS (United Parcel Service) as an International shipper. When calculating these shipping prices on item listings, they can be wrong and/or extremely expensive compared to our other shipping carrier USPS (United States Parcel Service). One of the reasons for using USPS Express Mail versus Priority and First Class is it has tracking and insurance included in the price up to $100.00 and it takes 5 to 10 days to receive. Priority and First Class mail is not used because there is no option to buy tracking and insurance which Paypal requires if they are to stand behind lost packages. Priority prices are not much less than Express Mail since our rates have gone up. It also takes 2 weeks or longer to receive your package. Because of the higher charge on International Express Mail packages we do not charge for handling fees for your benefit. If you are in question of USPS international mail prices, email us for the exact weight of the boxed item you are in... read more
