Looking at them again, I wonder could they be feathers, Prince of Wales Fathers?

Does it have a significance?

Thanks Trev.

A good point of departure. What of the fleur-de-lys above the sterling mark?

Would anyone have any ideas as to the identity of this maker?

Could anyone identify this mark which I am told is a Philadelphia mark dating from about 1800:

Here is a crest on a pair of spoons by C.T I.W, Dublin marks:

This crest appears on a Cork serving spoon by WIlliam Teulon for about 1800:

Here is another Irish crest about 1830 on a Dublin assayed spoon:

I have some unsolved mysteries and would appreciate any suggestions. The following crest appears on a sugar caster for 1729 andis found on other items with Cork associations or of Cork manufacture: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/PepeprpotWestroppcollection17283_zps32ef12cc.jpg

The main field of arms is also used by some branches of the Barton family - who are notable wine producers in Bordeaux.

Jag, many thanks for that most interesting post. I await further remarks on what is a completly new sphere for me. The marks appeared on a ladle an image of which is below: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/Bostonladle3.jpg Just one question: is the Indian with bow and arrow a mark ...

And another small mystery. Any ideas about this maker's mark? It is on a large serving spoon: Should be these two: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/conway2.jpg http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/conway3.jpg This is the obverse: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z3...

Indeed, a very nice item

I have those on a pair of serving spoons made around the same time as the caddies: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/Richardgardecork1831.jpg The crest is that of Stawell of Oldcourt, Doneraile, and Kilbrittain - one of these became Lord Chief Justice for the State of Victoria http:...

No, the 1797 mark was Carden Terry and John Williams.

Your link is to the later mark of Carden Terry and Jane Williams.

I'll try and post an image of the 1797 mark tomorrow.

Trev.

Sorry, my mistake.

I am not sure either about this but I suspect it might be Cork. I shall leave it to the experts:




It is on a soup ladle:

Is this the one you mean? I have it from a photograph of another item I have:

And another example of the mark without pellets:

This is the pair of serving spoons:

This I presume is an example of the 1797 mark registered by Carden Terry and Jane Williams:
