SCOTTISH HALLMARKS UNKNOWN - possibly Provincial?

Post by ejw »

Believe these Spoons are Scottish and possibly Provincial. Would like to identify the maker, date and town. Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

To the best of my knowledge, the maker and origin of your spoons is unknown.

These marks are shown on 'The Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh website' and noted in Richard Turner's 'A Directory of Scottish Provincial Silversmiths & Their Marks'. At one time the marks were thought to originated from Leith, but now that thought has been dismissed.

But don't give up hope of finding the maker, new information comes to light all the time.

Trev.

Very interesting, CWH is a previously unlisted user of these marks.
