I have a pewter bread basket that appears to be identical to one made by Friedrich Adler. The hallmark, however, is inconsistent with the normal hallmark of either “Isis” or “Osiris”. The mark on my basket is of a swan with a crown over its head, accommpannied by an “A” and “95%”. Does anyone have any idea what this is? Thanks!

The pictures did not load. The mark is of two lion’s heads facing each other. There is a shield in the middle of the two heads. It appears to be blank with a possible crown on top of the shield.

I have a really neat Art Deco Teapot that was made in Japan. It think it is brass though, it has patina that looks like copper. It’s really dull and I know that polishing things is a no-no, but is it a no-no if it is brass and not copper?

I have 2 brass bookends that are just the head and neck, they are 11×6 ,gazelles I think ,on the bottom is a sticker that says Republic of Korea ,Rosenthal-Netter Inc.N.B.R.11-743.Would appreciate any info or valueabout these
