Help with Sheffield tray

Post by Alice »

Hi Forum

Can anybody help me with this tray? I looked around in the forum and found it very helpful, but I could not find why this tray has what appears to be two date letters and no makers mark. I assume this is english with the sheffield assay office mark and the lion passant for sterling silver? Is it really from 1824 because it has also no duty mark and this was not abolished until much later. (admin edit - see Posting Requirements)I would appreciate any help and offer thanks in advance.

Best regards

Alice

Here is a picture of the tray and the hallmarks.

I do not think it is English as the Crown is different to the Sheffield one in style. Will do some research.
Best wishes, Mike.
