I recently purchased a little baby spoon from a charity shop that is hallmarked and was interested to know the origin and the year this spoon was made.

It doesnt seem to have a town mark & I am unable to read the makers mark as it is worn. The Duty mark to me looks like King George III (but I am a novice!!)

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

That would be London 1795. A sharper close up of the maker's mark may still reveal their identity.

Thanks so much Trev, I am thrilled with my little spoon, its not often you find anything 215 years old in Australia, especially in an op shop.

The makers' mark looks like Peter & Ann Bateman.
What's an op shop?

Surely it must stand for 'Old Plate'

lol, thanks guys. Sorry, an op shop is an Australian term for oportunity shop or charity shop. And yes, there is a lot of Old Plate there!!
