a hint - London.

Thanks ... looked there but still can't distinguish the makers mark ... I'm guessing the date mark at 1806 .... thanks for your help.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

The maker was William Fountain of King Street, Clerkenwell, London.
You are correct with the date, 1806.

Hi,

Mention of William Fountain can be found at this Old Bailey Trial:
