Hello,
Your help identifying the marks and other info would be most appreciated.

There are 3 marks on the inside on one side and the makers mark is on the other side inside.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

That would be London 1796. See here for an explanation of the marks: http://www.925-1000.com/british_marks.html

The maker would have been Thomas Streetin, see: http://www.925-1000.com/dlLondon14.html#M
