Marks A-B

Marks C-G

Marks H-L

Marks M-R

Marks S-Z

Ankhs & Orbs

Producers

Only a small proportion of products are marked.  The vast number of manufacturers that sometime made copper and brass products means that this list will never be comprehensive.  Some marks remain unidentified as yet.  Your comments will be welcome.
