From what I have recently read, gilding was also used to resist corrosion from salt. Commments in that regard or any other on this post are entirely welcome.

An example of Matthew J Staunton’s work and mark:

A possible correction to this post: presumedly those dates for SA I relate to membership of the Loriners' Company not Goldsmiths'?

I am inclined to agree with you on this point, but at the same time, we need to know if translation from one company to another occurred. i do not know.

Thank you both for looking into this maker. I’ll follow up as far as possible. For whatever difference it may make, the buckle was bought in Texas.

24 January 1764 Maximillian Stephen Picasse of St Clement Danes in the County of Middlesex Batchelor and Engraver alleged his intention to marry Prudence Goddard of the Parish of St Giles in the Fields in the same County Widow.

Just in case this image is helpful:

25 January 1736 Thomas son of Thomas Pettyfoot of the Parish of St Luke Middlesex Silver Smith apprenticed to Eleanor Roberts widow of Richard Roberts Citizen and Plasterer of London deceased.

12 March 1811 Simon Levin of Leman Street St Mary's Whitechapel (formerly of Gun Yard, Houndsditch) will proved at London.

Nice!

You are welcome. Do you know is this ring has a connection to Hawaii?

From The Gentleman's Magazine - Volume 166 - Page 433 1839: September 3 Clare wife of George Cowie of Longacre Esquire died.

Just a shot in the dark, but I found a reference to an Alfred E Rego (Alfred Estainlao De Rego Senior), Honolulu online in The Manufacturing Jeweler Volume 73 Page 12. He is mentioned in a voluntary bankruptcy list without an occupation, but it may still have potential for your retailer or otherwise...

:::: The number of spoons I've seen from 1790 that are 4 to 5 inches in length is quite high, but now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen a spoon from 1730 that is 4 to 5 inches in length, the overall length is something that makes me think about the 1790s rather than the 1730s I don’t h...

::::: The hallmark is very similar to John Reynolds Thank you Aquest. A possible Reynolds' mark on Winterthur looks like the cartouche could have had a scalloped edge, but I can definitly see the similarity. I'm not counting anything out at this point. The mark on my spoon looks like the die is wel...

Until today I thought this mark looked like TR. Now it looks like IR for whatever difference that might make to anyone.

Giving this a bump just to see if there are any new thoughts on this spoon.

This buckle was advertised as being silver and brass, but when I had it checked at a Jewelry and Diamond Exchange retail store, the gold was found to be 14K.

As is so often the case, looking any information at all. Because it is marked ORR and STERLING on the front, I don’t expect to be American. But I am open to any thoughts on this piece.

Looking for information about the maker of this bracelet please.

I am not able to find anything on this spoon that suggest whether or not it is cast. For me it's just too worn to tell.
