candlesticks:

Fred Sinfield writes:
... A partial reply to Mario Galasso question.
Wenzell Bachmann & Co of Vienna, active 1842 to 1914,
had a warrant to use the Hapsburg eagle mark and punched
their wares as seen on the candlesticks.
The 'AS 1862' is unknown and cannot trace any reference,
unfortunately.

"A BOOK ON
MY SHELF"
In this column
we present books, new or ancient,
dealing with silver in all its aspects (history,
marks, oddities...). This isn't a "book
review" but only a fair presentation of
some useful "tools" that anyone may have
in the shelf of his bookcase.

The "book on the shelf" of this month is
