Question
Hi Martin,

I have two pewter teapots from my grandmother and wondered if you caould tell me if they are of any value.  The first is Made by Walker Hall Sheffield, Two and a half pint and is stamped with 11079 and also the number 12.
The second is a handbeaten teapot.....There is a stamp on the base of the teapot that says...Made by Homeland 614 (W & Co)

I would be very grateful for your help.

Thanks

Samantha  

Answer
-

The Walker & Hall piece is probably quite a late example, say c1910, value if in excellent condition around $10.

W & Co and Homeland are not trade marks that I know, but they style you describe suggests c1930. Value if in excellent condition around $5.
