Question about John Proctor Trott

Does anybody know the precise period during which JPT used the script hallmark of his initials. I am trying to narrow down the date on a set of 6 teaspoons.

Your best bet is to judge by the form of the spoons. He used, as my site shows, a variety of marks and several of them concurrently; I have seen a matched set of five coffin handled tablespoons -- two marked JPT, two marked J P TROTT, and one marked with both.
