Samuel Key, Grimwade 2566, Jackson page 197 is the most similar mark I can find. Does any...

Thank you for your informative contributions.

Sorry for delay in replying, I have just returned from a week in the Highlands.

http://a.imagehost.org/t/0851/CR1.jpg http://h.imagehost.org/t/0540/CR2.jpg By a process of elimination I have tentatively attributed this CR makers mark on an Edinburgh 1817 spoon to Colin Richardson. He is first referred to in Perth 1813, has a mention in Scottish Provincial Silversmiths at Perth...

Many thanks.

John Blake was my first thought, but I shall keep an open mind.

Trev

Thank you again.

Unlikely we will ever find out, if the information was available it would be in print by now.

Trev

Thanks very much.

William Craw makes sense but If this is his mark, it appears he was the only silversmith in Dumfries to pay duty.

Hopefully somebody knows more.

Regards

Paul.

http://a.imagehost.org/t/0774/AMcL1.jpg http://i.imagehost.org/t/0974/AMcL2.jpg This makers mark appears to be Alexander MacLEOD of Inverness on an 1822 Edinburgh spoon. Another website has this mark on an 1823 Edinburgh butterknife but is unattributed. Edinburgh Assay website has him submitting wo...

From my collection, W. Hutton & Son London 1894.
A common pattern, these were retailed by Cameron & Son Jewellers, Kilmarnock, Scotland in 1895. Have seen same for sale in Antique shops.

Mike Thanks again. Same excuse, failed to fully follow all the trails at Edinburgh Assay site. The mark is shown as unidentified in the main index, but when you click on 'Andrew Wilkie' a worn mark which 'appears' the same is displayed, I was hoping somebody knows more, the mark shown by Dietert is ...

Mike

Thank you.

I must admit I did look at the Edinburgh Assay site but now realise I had failed to follow all of the trails and could have answered my own question.

A lesson to be learnt but hopefully the information is of interest to others.

http://j.imagehost.org/t/0041/MORTON1.jpg http://j.imagehost.org/t/0011/MORTON2.jpg My research leads me to believe this is Andrew Wilkie and MORTON is a retailer. I am aware of a MORTON AE (Andrew Edmonstoun) spoon. Jackson only has one AW in the Scottish section, Alex Wotherspoon of Glasgow which...

Thank you for the lesson. I have refreshed my memory on Hanovarian spoons and purchased Grimwade, which luckily is on special offer at an internet bookseller.

I am no expert but the way the centre uprights cross at the top of W is identical to a mark for Thomas Wallis as shown in a photograph at silvercollection, click on 'more' when you get there.
The part date letter could be the upright of 'b' for 1777.
