Please help with this: acorn-like mark???

[KHPOON]

I have been trying to search about the origin of an old silver bar online but in vain. The only clue is the acorn-shaped mark. I could be in the wrong direction all these while, assuming that the mark looked like acorn.

Please kindly help to identify it.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge,

Poon

Or an arrowhead.

Could it be a pineapple? If so it could be from Barker Ellis company as they were known in England or Ellis Barker as they were known in America. 4th compnay down on the left, can't copy or save the picture.

Thank you Sir, but my mysterious mark appears to be much less rounded than the pineapple in the link. =)

It's actually from an old silver bar. Only says 999+ Fine, 100ozs silver

I wonder who minted the bar, since I have never came across such mark.

Pine cone?

Welcome to Treasure Net !!
Can you post a pic of the entire bar showing all the markings? Thanks.

 

[ivan salis]

might be a "spade" shape

 

[DirtDigler]

Could possibly be a heart too.

Yes that might be helpful. At least we could see this mark in relation to the other markings.

Their were some that were marked with a Bee hive . I do not know if that is what you have as I have not seen one in real life , only in a drawing that was made of one. I can not even remember the name of the group or company it was attached to.
I just remember that I thought the Bee Hive symbol was a strange emblem to pick .

But I do know after thinking a little about it we were told it was a very important item ! But for the life of me I can not recall what it was about .
Just that it was used on Silver and Gold for what ever the reason was . Just way to many years ago lol.

Maybe this will put you on the right trail . I hope this memory fragment of mine will help .

It might be a tree.

We need to see the mark in relation to the other markings.

mormons used the "bee hive" mark --god's little bees buzy with their harvest .

There is mention of a silver necklace with an arrowhead or tree mark but I cant pull up the pic. http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16928

After enlarging it, I'm going with tree or arrowhead. Actually, we need a clearer, closer pic, and the other markings as BCH as suggested. Breezie

 

[ivan salis]

looks almost like the old lebanonese tree symbol

 

[Mackaydon]

And a pic of both sides of the entire bar with another object to show the scale of the bar would be appreciated.

Pine Cone?
Having that said, is this stamp on a disc?

based on the image , it looks like theres a swirl in the material, also the image / i9item looks round
