JC - On 1768? Tablespoon - Widow
Posted: Fri May 22, 2015 11:13 am
JC, on a 1768? tablespoon:
The date letter is worn, but appears to be 1768. The maker's mark is contained within a lozenge, thus this is almost certainly that of a widow.
A strong candidate for the maker may be the widow of Paul Callard, the former Judith Labbee (L'abbe), (see: http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic ... ard#p91619 ). Callard, a known spoonmaker, died in 1768 which would fit in nicely with the date of this spoon.
