Thanks for your help Mike; though I have to say it was rather disappointing. Are you sure? All the signs, to me, seem to point to an earlier date: shell back, turned up, old style monogram and (an often disregarded sign) considerable wearing on one side of the bowl (top pic) and pitting (bottom pic)...

Dating a spoon with no date mark.
Here is a an early shell backed teaspoon with a central ridge. It has a maker's mark, a lion passant but no date letter. I date the spoon (by its design) at 1730's, but I'd like the opinion of someone else. I think the maker is Thomas Whipham, the end of the spoon turns up, it has a faint outline of...

I'll have got my camera back on Friday so I'l...

Unsure of maker and date of spoon
Can anyone tell me the date of this spoon? I'm pretty sure that it's Chester but I don't know whether the T or the F is the date letter. Also, does anyone know who B.M is? http://x11.putfile.com/4/9817045595.jpg http://x11.putfile.com/4/9816581912.jpg Thanks, Granmaa Any further advice for the compu...
