Not formally published that I know of. Knowledge through some dealers and some info on social media. So maybe should have said attributed to Corfu. :/

Hi there,

Your forks are from Corfu!
There is still research being done, so not much around, but they were made in Corfu during the British occupation (1815-1864).
Is there any crest or engravings?

Great forks!

Oops, sorry for that double pic.

Also, there is an example just marked 'WAKE'.

Here are the photos I could access. If I manage to secure them, I'll post full photos of the spoons! Fingers crossed. :P

I've just seen some spoons marked 'J&T Wake'. Just to add some more for research. If I can, I will post some images. After a quick look, it seems other examples have turned up in England at auction.

Hey team,

Thought I'd give this a bump and re-post my image of the mark...whatever Image host I used has disappeared.



We've found two examples...any more out there!?

Hi team,

I saw a post on Instagram recently attributing these marks to Corfu, while it was under British control.

If you google it, you will find a few more pieces attributed as such too.

Better late than never!

Hi guys,

Trev is right. Below is an image from the article in The Journal of The Silver Society Number 27 2011 about Gibraltar silver.

Great spoon...very jealous!

Hi John, Better late than never! ;) You 'HA' is a match for mine and your 'D' is a match for the one listed in Houstone's Reference book as 'Possibly Australian'. I would be interested in see the initials on your spoon? I haven't made any real progress yet...I'm not convinced it is Australian...As I...

Thanks silverly, another lead to chase up! Below is a series other other photos attributed too.

Hi team, I just purchased this ladle...from the blurry marks available in his book (and a couple online), I think it is stamped for John Kinzie. Seems he was active in Detroit from the 1780s. I would love to hear from our American Coin silver experts if the engraving and design of the ladle matches ...

Which essay is that?

Hey team, Picked this dessert spoon up today. It was with a pile of silver-plate - I thought it was Continental, but now thinking it has a Scottish feel. Has anyone seen these marks before? I'm away from home, so haven't been able to check Turner's yet. :P Cheers, Ben https://dl.dropboxusercontent.c...

Hi team, Picked up this little beauty today. It was listed as John Glen, probably due to the attribution in Turner's book, but it seem like a funny mark for Glen if he is already using IG at other points. Has anyone else seen this mark? Or have any other Glasgow makers as options for the period? The...

Hi Martin,

It sure is Canadian. It is the marks for Richard Kestell Oliver (Toronto, circa 1843-1860).

Cheers,

Hi team, Picked up this tablespoon in a little job lot the other day. The incuse duty mark was used from 1st Dec 1784 until 28 May 1786. According to Gill, it seems there were seven silversmiths who sent silver in for assay to Newcastle in that period. Samuel Thompson II (a small amount) James Crawf...

Hi team, I picked up six spoons and forks, one of the has the French marks for 1818-1838, but the others have the marks below. Any thoughts?? (There was also a set of six teaspoons that had all sorts of marks and overstamping with the same crest) As always, any help/opinion welcome! Thanks, Ben http...

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone had any idea about these spoons?

I thought maybe Dutch? But have no real idea!

Any thoughts appreciated.

Ben

Wow! Thanks Theoderich...would never have found that!

Hey team, Found this little box in a thrift shop today. Had to put of elbow grease into cleaning it up, but it's a nice little box. But I can't quite work out the hallmarks. It seems to be a key, 13 and a maker's mark CX. I think it's probably German? From the first half of the nineteenth century? B...
