have searched for days but can't find this. Sterling band on the utensils is markder with intials JC or JG then the lion facing left then can't quite make out the next mark and the last is completely worn away.

Thanks MIke,
was able to find the maker using the Birmingham lead you gave me.
Check out this site http://www.thimbleselect.bizland.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It's mainly about sterling thimbles but has tons of pics of Birmingham and some Chester silversmiths hallmarks. Very informative.
