Hi Everyone!

Going through some Sterling I've acquired recently & came across a Georgian Sterling Spoon. "Old English" Pattern, approx. 4-3/4" in length.

Image

In case the photo isn't clear, hallmarks include: Lion Passant, "p" (Assume this is year), King George III Duty Mark, & "SG" (Makers Mark). I also note a very faint "W" next to the makers mark. There doesn't appear to be a City hallmark though (this is where I'm stuck).

I'm hoping to ID the maker, City, & Age.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Paul

Hi again!

Posted too soon. Found another one!

Again, no city mark!

This one has Lion Passant, "R" (Date?), King George III Bust Duty Mark, & Maker Mark (first letter too faint) "*G" over "EW".

Thanks!
Paul

Hi Paul,

That would be Samuel Godbehere and Edward Wigan, London, 1790 and 1792.
