I found an image on this website that looks to me to be the widely-spaced J S, attributed to John Smythe/Smith used in the "last quarter of the 19th century." If this is indeed that mark and dates from 1867, it was obviously in use prior to 1875, so perhaps the note is incorrect?

Thank you very much! And am I correct that the W at the bottom indicates 1867?

Wish I could edit my previous posts instead of adding replies like an idiot. LOL ... anyhow, here are the hallmarks I was talking about.

I hope you can see the images in my post ... I can't! Am going to try linking to the Google photos.

Hello, I have never tried to research hallmarks before and would like confirmation on what I *think* these marks mean. Is that Victoria? And the date 1867? This is puzzling because the initials on the spoon, "LHM" and the Morton family crest, seem to indicate my 3rd great-grandfather, Lewis Hawkes ...
