Hi

Is it possible to replace the original images so we can all see the cup?

Martin

I don't play the game myself but I believe in contract bridge you use a board like the one in the image along with a set of pegs.

Martin

I think they are Bridge or Cribbage pegs.

Unfortunately I have no further information on a possible candidate for maker but I have acquired another spoon with the previous date letter (1763/4) as shown in the images below.

Martin

Interesting item Peter, thanks for sharing.

Martin

Maybe Oberammergau, a municipality of Bavaria? Or a souvenir of the Passion Play held there at the beginning of every decade.

Martin

Good to know Colin, however I think I will continue to use the trusted finger and thumb method.

Hi

Possibly candle wick snuffers (without the trimming function)?

Martin

Hi

Although the mark is a bit rubbed, I would say the maker is William Neale of Chester with a 1900 date letter.

Hi I was looking at some options for the maker of this 1764 tablespoon, marked T*T. The mark is not shown in Grimwade, on Phil's site he has noted it seen on a spoon also dated 1764. So is this a mark for a so far unidentified maker, or perhaps more likely an unrecorded mark of a known maker? Thomas...

Also bear in mind where the person using the scoop would hold it, particularly when holding the end with the shorter scoop. Looking at the placement of the marks, is their hand more likely to come into contact with the more worn marks and not the makers mark?

Martin

Hi I thought I would share this as I can't find any other reference on the forum of this partnership. This 1777 bright cut tablespoon has the mark of William Eley I & George Pierrepont* see Grimwade 3111 (*also seen referred to as Pierrepoint). It appears this partnership lasted no more than a y...

Thank you, I had somehow convinced myself that it wasn't an Edinburgh town mark, must get my eyes checked.

Hi

I think I have seen these marks on this forum before, but for the life of me I can't remember what their attribution was (York?).

Many Thanks
Martin

All considered I think that's a pretty good call, thanks Phil.

Martin

Hi Following on from the marrow spoon I posted the other day, I have also acquired a 1725 marrow scoop, which like the spoon has clear marks other than that of the maker. I fear this one presents more of a challenge to identify as a lot of the detail has been lost, however maybe someone can spot som...

Thanks Phil. Do you think the unattributed GB on your site is also that of Bennett?

Martin

Thank you both for your observations. Phil, I personally think your first assumption of GB looks closer, is there something you have seen that makes you lean more to it being Edward Bennett?

Martin

Hi

I am not to sure what has happened to the makers mark on this 1745 marrow spoon, maybe it is just my eyes, but can anyone make out who this might be?

Many Thanks
Martin

Peter,

Fabulous, I can't thank you enough for your time and effort, it is greatly appreciated.
