Hi,

I am looking for help in identifying the marks on this dessert spoon. I am pretty sure I have seen them before but can't recall where, can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi,

That punch is the town mark, in this case the leopard's head, denoting it was made in London.

Martin

Just a guess, is it some sort of cutting tool for making watch parts?

Martin.

Hi,

This George II coffee pot has fairly rubbed marks including the makers mark. I think it is probably that of Benjamin Cartwright I, but would welcome the thoughts of other forum members.

Regards,

Martin

Hi,

As per the title, am having trouble deciphering this worn makers mark on a pair of 1832 forks.

Hi,

This silver soup ladle finished in an Oar Pattern has only a makers mark of FA or possibly EA. I am thinking it is possibly Scottish provincial or maybe continental, does anybody have any ideas on its origins?

Regards,

Hi Trev,

That would make sense, in which case the origin of the spoons could be very difficult to determine.

Martin.

Hi Trev,

The images were provided by the auctioneer, I do not have the spoons. I came across them when checking through the auctioneers sale results for a number of Scottish Provincial items and was intrigued as to the origin of that particular lot.

Martin

Hi,

I found these spoons at auction described as Scottish Provincial. Could they be from Liverpool, as the marks don't correspond with any Scottish Provincial that I am aware of?

Many thanks to both of you for this very helpful information.

Hi,

Does anyone have any information on this candlestick? My first thought is that it is possibly Belgian, but i am not 100% sure.

Regards,
Martin

Hi,

The spoon was hallmarked in London in 1839, although there is some wear to the makers mark, I believe it to be C.B for Charles Boyton who was a well known spoon maker who was active at this time.

Martin

Hi,

I have this dessert fork which acid tests as silver, it is in a Hanoverian pattern and has the 2 marks as shown - R & 8. Can anybody help me with country of origin?

Thanks

Thanks Trev, that's a nice suprise.

Martin

Hi,

I have acquired a fiddle pattern spoon of typical English design, which tests as sterling but has only the shown marks. Does anybody know anything of its origins?

Thanks
Martin.
