A loving cup of sorts but the marks have me puzzled. Four separate marks on the base. They look German, but unable to identify. Grateful for any help Regards John
Generally, this array of marks indicate a London hallmark with the date letter 'F' of 1801. The maker (sponsor's) mark may more difficult to investigate as there are many many makers marks that start with 'I' .. if there is another spoon with a clearer mark then it may help. Regards John
Please advise on the marks on these trays. I guess they're Maltese, but the '917'? or '91T'? is a puzzle. Current marks don't show these figures. A date would help also tremendously. Many thanks in advance John http://i45.tinypic.com/2enaha9.jpg (admin photo edit - images too large - link only - see...
On the base of a caster- London 1739. Main question DE or JG? If JG, would this be part of the lost registers? I have had good suggestions as to the possibilties for 'JG', the main one being, Grimwade #1348, John Gamon, largeworker, entered 15.6.1739 but no pellet. Grateful for any help Regards John...
