Question
I have a set of 8 pewter plates approximately
8 1/2" in diameter each.  The plates appear to have hand forged designs,  each has a rim, and no 2 plates are alike. The mark, which is on the outer rim of each plate is a crown with a small line underneath followed by what looks like a crest with a tea pot(?)inside of it.  Next to the mark are the letters AC in script.  If requested I will send a picture, any assistance with identification or age is appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

By all means send me images. One overall shot of the set, one close up of each of two pieces (for differences) (front and back), close up of the mark and script letters. Also look hard for any marks on the backs - that is where the maker's marks are usually found.
