I have some unsolved mysteries and would appreciate any suggestions. The following crest appears on a sugar caster for 1729 andis found on other items with Cork associations or of Cork manufacture: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/PepeprpotWestroppcollection17283_zps32ef12cc.jpg
Jag, many thanks for that most interesting post. I await further remarks on what is a completly new sphere for me. The marks appeared on a ladle an image of which is below: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/Bostonladle3.jpg Just one question: is the Indian with bow and arrow a mark ...
And another small mystery. Any ideas about this maker's mark? It is on a large serving spoon: Should be these two: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/conway2.jpg http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/conway3.jpg This is the obverse: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z3...
I have those on a pair of serving spoons made around the same time as the caddies: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/Argentum3/Richardgardecork1831.jpg The crest is that of Stawell of Oldcourt, Doneraile, and Kilbrittain - one of these became Lord Chief Justice for the State of Victoria http:...
