Re: Help with date mark...
This is a curious set of marks that I have seen on two other objects. The first is a pair of sugar nips/tea tongs of c.1760 form. The second is a bizarre spoon which can be found in this thread: http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=13042&hilit=squirrel I'm no closer to finding ...

Re: William Welch.
Hi Paul,
The man who made your spoon was William Welch of Exeter.
Tim Kent wrote a good article on this subject called "A little light on the Welches" in The Finial. It can be read here: http://www.bexfield.co.uk/thefinial/pdf/20-01.pdf
