I HAVE FOUND A VERY GOOD WEB PAGE FOR HALLMARKS , WHERE YOU WILL FIND MOST OF THE HALLMARKS OF THE WORLD. SO TYPE IN THE 3 Ws FOLLOWED BY : .925-1000.COM . On offer from England is this spectacular sterling silver wine cooler bearing the hallmarks for Birmingham 1922 and the makers mark of William Neale. The cooler is of good size and weight . The overall height is 14.2 inches , the diameters are , base , 7 inches , top 5.25 inches . The weight is 1080 grams , about 34.7 troy ounces. This lovely silver wine cooler was designed as a trophy to be awarded for a poultry competition . The cylindrical cooler has a belled base and rim. Both top and base rims have beaded decoration . Above the upper raised band is a running decoration of foliar and other motifs. The lower raised band is at wine bottle height . You can just see the top of a wine bottle in the last image ! Between the two bands is a repousse garland around an oval cartouche. This cartouche has a repousse decoration of a cockerel and a hen . Around the base is running decorative foliar banding. The short handles fold down through about 90 degrees as you can see from the series of images.On the base is an inscription which reads : PRESENTED BY LADY GREENALL / TO / THE BROWN LEGHORN CLUB / NOVEMBER 15TH 1922 / COCKEREL TROPHY .
