Hi all,
I have this spoon wondering if anyone could help with the maker and any info about them?
It is dated 1805 - 1806 and has the usual early Birmingham (charming) crudeness.
Thanks
Rhodri

Re: L&R maker?
Very Interesting thank you Mike its certainly the same mark and a very similar spoon.
I must say unlike in Miles' Case all the marks look very clear and sharp/detailed. There is certainly no indication that the L&R is 'overstamping' anything.
I may contact the BAO but a little worried what they would do as we know it's not in there records...

Re: L&R maker?
Whatever you decide to do Rhodri can I suggest you don't let the spoon get anywhere near Birmingham.
If there are developments please be sure to let us know.
