Wow, small world!
I hope this post has more success than the last. I won't clean it with toothpaste, I promise!

This spoon looks like it might be from a British colony, or it could also be from a French or Spanish colony!

Any ideas?

A small little tumbler cup which looks 18th century despite the c.1850 engraving. Does anyone recognise the marks?

A silver table spoon with feather edging, c.1780. Marked simply KINGSTON. Does anyone know who this is?

Miles

Thank you both very much.

Miles

Looks a bit like Chinese Export marks, imitating English hallmarks.

Miles

Can anyone tell me the maker and date of this pepper?

Thanks,
Miles

Reading through some former posts I see that the A mark (stamped twice) is struck on Vienna silver after 1866, either on small or detachable pieces, but sometimes even to soldered parts (e.g. tea or sugar caddy legs) . Thanks AG2012. I'm still looking for the maker. It look like there's an 8 between...

Almost certainly William Welch II. I won't say snr because Tim Kent's research has shown no evidence that they were related. Welch I was working in Plymouth and II in Exeter.

Thomas Allen looks like a good fit to me. Do you think it has been converted from an ordinary table spoon?

Miles

Here's a really nicely designed cigarette box, which I have been able to work out comes from Vienna, probably c.1900. Can anyone help me with the other marks?

Hi Trice and Trev,

I think your spoon matches up with my figure 4: 1798 - 1804.

Here's an RB with star that I can't see in Grimwade.

Can anyone tell me anything about the marks on this filigree Maltese cross. The mark looks like NM and 925 or 975. There's another mark that looks like a star.

Hi,

Have a look at this article entitled A little light on the Welches: http://www.bexfield.co.uk/thefinial/pdf/20-01.pdf

This set of cutlery has me stumped. Probably c.1760 with some unusual features, including a little rat-tail on the fork, that should make it easier to identify. The monogram is also distinctive. The maker's mark is GC or CC or CG, and the other mark is indistinct. Help! Miles http://i64.photobucket....

Hi Emma,

I agree with Trev. This is most likely the earliest mark of Middleton & Co. The later M&Co marks are much more common.

Miles

Thanks for the sleuthing, Bahner!

Miles

Does anyone know the identity of this maker's mark?

Miles

Thanks very much Trev.
