Here are the marks on a 30 cm (11.75 inch) sterling stuffing or basting spoon marked for London, 1832-3:



I can find no identification for maker "W<pellet>J" in a rectangular shield. The closest marks I see are for a W. Jenkins and a W. Jaffray listed for Glasgow in the 1848-1903 period, and they used a period, not a pellet. Might someone be able to identify this mystery maker? Thanks!

P.S. - I haven't included an overall pic of the spoon, as it is a bit too large for my scanner. It is a fairly "standard issue", non-descript Brit fiddle pattern. There is no engraved crest or mono.

Hi-there was a maker registered in 1834 whose mark is similar to yours being WJ period between by the name of Walter Jordan. He had a second similar, though not illustrated, mark which might well have included a pellet rather than a period. Perhaps you could research this maker further. Good hunting.

Could be William Johnson, maker of flatware, mark entered 1822 and active in the 1830s.

Thanks for the responses. Might there be a source where the Johnson mark is documented?
