[Rarebooks] FS: English Silver Hallmarking Laws - 17th-20th Century

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“THE LAW AND PRACTICE OF HALL-MARKING GOLD AND SILVER WARES”

By J. Paul de Castro.
Published in London by The Technical Press Ltd. in 1935. 2nd edition,
enlarged.

DISCUSSION: An outstanding and comprehensive study not only of current law
in 1935, but the hallmarking laws in England, in all their facets, going
back to the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Includes a separate
section on historical legal cases. Terrifically exciting reading if you’re
into hallmarking law and lore, and a sure-fire insomnia cure if you’re
not.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 6”x9.5”, xxxvii + 372 pages, plus 35 black & white
plates.

CONDITION NOTES: Some wear- covers with light soil and some scuffing,
slight rips and a small hole along the spine head/upper hinge cloth (see
photo), hinges a bit loose, but once you get inside it's clean and good.

PRICE: $50~
