Silver trowel without makers mark
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2016 8:51 pm
Hi all,
Can anyone shed some light on this piece? It is a large trowel (around 12" long), would it have been used as a presentation piece, or? There are no inscriptions on it. Also, the only two hallmarks on it are the George IV right facing duty mark and the crowned harp - so it must be from 1821. Any idea why there is no Hibernia or makers mark? Would be glad to have some more information.
Many thanks!
