Date & maker of spoon
Hi This table spoon has some quite worn marks, but I was wondering if there is enough detail left for anybody to speculate on a date and a maker. Many Thanks Martin https://i.postimg.cc/RFZnZSVW/IMG-20200711-101300.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/k5cbC69r/IMG-20200711-101336.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/R09H21...

Maker of table spoon
Hi This table spoon which unfortunately has a rubbed date mark, has a makers mark of what looks like JB. I can't seem to find an appropriate candidate, can anybody suggest who the maker may be? Many Thanks Martin https://i.postimg.cc/rp8FDpcG/IMG-20200710-103657.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/DwQwfGVy/IMG...

Re: Where is this spoon from.
Thanks Trev, have you any indication on the maker? I know Turner attributes an Aberdeen and an Elgin mark to Rettie & Son, I wonder if the same maker had a Dundee mark.

Where is this spoon from.
Hi I have this teaspoon that I originally thought was an example from Scottish maker Rettie & Son, but I have been unable to track down these particular marks. Has anybody got any ideas on the spoon's origin? Many Thanks Martin https://i.postimg.cc/HkcmQr6Q/SAM-6628.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Fz8W...

Re: Toddy ladle marks
Hi Matt
I have posted below a cropped image of the makers mark which basically shows all the detail there is. As for a missing letter before the A, then it could be the case but unfortunately its impossible to tell.

Thomas Wallis II makers mark?
Hi I am assuming the makers mark on this shell back teaspoon is that of Thomas Wallis II. However it has two pellets dividing the initials, I cannot recall seeing a Wallis mark with a single pellet let alone two. Has anyone else seen this mark before or is it a different maker? Many Thanks Martin ht...
