Hi Ian,

    Thanks for the info. The registration comes back as 1888. I'm not
    sure about a hallmark. Two of the pieces have a bell stamped on
    thebottom. Two have a square with fine diagonal lines. I haven't
    found similar hallmarks on any related sites. Also, there was small
    hand engraved written script on the bottoms, but they have been
    nearly buffed away. There were no visible hallmarks on the underside
    of any of the hinged lids. 

    My Dad should be satisfied with the registraation date. 

Mike
