I wonder if anyone can identify these markings on my salt spoon. The spoon is fiddle pattern and the photographs are of the rear of the terminal.

Hi Martin,
Welcome to the Forum.
It's difficult to say who actually made your spoon, as the trade mark appears to have changed hands a couple of times.
Its origins appear to be with David Miller & Son of Sheffield, then passing, perhaps, to Thomas Blake and then to Castle & Turton.
The one thing you can say for sure is that it was made in Sheffield.

Thanks, interesting. It'll give me a bit more to investigate. (has to be the best bit of collecting)

Most of these electroplate and silverplate makers operated in the town of Sheffield from c. 1840 to c. 1940
