Sterling Cross made in London by HF & Co Ltd.

By bdmwood, 8 January, 2012
Description

This is a sterling silver cross in its original box that is marked "Whittemore Associates Inc. Boston 8. Mass, Made in England.  The box ha silver silk on top stamped with above and velvet inlay for the cross.  The markings on the back of the cross are Made in England, HF & Co Ltd., the lion for 0.925 sterling, a lion head without crown for London 1300 to present, and an e for the date letter of 1960.  It has a silver stone in the center starburst and each end of the cross section has a figure, the top is an angel, the right is a dog/cow, the bottom is an eagle and the left is a lion/cat with wings.  This needs to be polished but is in outstanding condition as is the box.  I can find very little about the maker or the seller other than they made/sold ecclesiastical items.  I was looking for addition information and to know if this is worth more than its weight in silver.  Thanks in adavance.
