Here is a mother of pearl fruit knife made in Sheffield 1864. Jackson's doesn't have a picture of the I.O maker, but it does have the name John Oxley in a list (mark entered 1841). Can anyone confirm this or suggest another name?

1864 Mother of pearl fruit knife
A second edition of the Sheffield Assay Office Register was published in 1989 and was available directly from the Assay Office. I got mine from them sometime certainly after 2000 I checked on their website this morning and could not find a reference to it anymore. It would be worth a telephone call though to check whether they still have copies available for purchase - you can reach them on 0114 275 5111 - they open at 8:30 AM

Although it's not the same as the Sheffield Assay Office Register, you might find this website interesting:
