looking for help on a retailers mark
Posted: Mon May 28, 2012 5:47 pm
At dognose's prompting, I am posting a question regarding an Irish retailer's mark; the attached photo is from a sterling stuffing spoon from 1834 by Richard Garde that I recently acquired (my first piece of Cork silver!), and it has the retailer's mark R.CAVE. I have seen one other piece online from another maker with this same mark. Any help that could be provided would be most welcome. I have included a photo of the whole spoon in case someone is interested.
