I was given an 18k pocketwatch chain from my grandma who recently passed.

every link is hallmarked with a crown and 18k

there is also jwb on the t bar of the chain.

two of the links have extra hallmarks on there and I can find out what they are. any help would be much appreciated.

in particular the first image with the 3 hallmarks, what is the one on top left. looks slightly like a flower on its side and next to it looks like an R but can find anything about it

I found this online based on the JWB you mentioned and maybe a starting point for you?

The Fine Silver and Goldsmiths - JAMES WILLIAM BENSON used the initials JWB from the 1870s to the 1950s

I like to buy the pre-dip dip

Central bankers are politicians disguised as economists or bankers. They’re either incompetent or liars. So, either way, you’re never going to get a valid answer.” - Peter Schiff

Sound money is not a guarantee of a free society, but a free society is impossible without sound money. We are currently a society enslaved by debt.
