Got this pretty little solid silver charoot holder in a bundle with a silver fob and a solid silver 1936 Sampson Mordan pencil for £26.00. The charoot holder has the Birmingham makers mark RB in seperate triangular lozenges and the date letter y 1898 but I cannot find reference to the maker, can anyone help ?
Maybe it is B B ???
Yeah it doesn't seem to make sense? Maybe it's somebody's initials?

Well it’s not one of the marks on the net .... but might well be Barker Brothers.
Definitely R B
The hallmarks are larger than normal, again that seems odd.
