hi,
just wondering if anyone can help me identify these marks. Assuming that they are provincial scottish. These are the best photos i was able to take and they were the clearest ones.





The makers mark is either I. W. & co, or T.W. & co. It has the lion passant and the kings head. The town mark is the one that has me stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The town mark is Sheffield 1818/19 and is the 'small articles mark' which is an upside down crown over the date letter I.

T W & Co is probably Thomas Watson & Co mark registered 1801.

The book 'Jackson's Silver Marks' suggests this was to differentiate more clearly between current and previous date letters.

Regards

Paul

Hello

The TW & Co mark identified at page 443 of Jackson's Silver & Gold Marks book is not one recorded in the book produced by the Sheffield Assay Office from its register. Thomas Watson & Co's registered mark of 1794 was TW above & Co in a rectangle. The mark on the item here may be an unregistered mark used by them or might be IW & Co which was a mark registered by Joseph Wilson & Co in 1793. This was IW then & Co in two punches but stamped close together could appear as one rectangle.
