Hi Miles, Although registered in 1917... it appears that his work covers much later dates... I think 192? to 195?.
Best wishes, Mike.

I believe that what you have here could be an important piece of Royal and religious history... depicted in scenes of what appear to be British activity. The figure at the top, on one side, appears to be Charles II. I do not believe the marks are pseudo at all.. I believe the lion is representative ...

The blackjack is almost certainly 18thc and the silver rim... which I suggest is by Joseph Preedy of London is almost certainly a later addition. Have seen a few of these with similar silver mounts...none of which appear to fit well. I believe this is because the wear at the top of the blackjack thr...

Christopher Canner was a prolific caster maker of the period but I believe (from memory) that his mark was a large 'C' with an 'a' within it and no dots. Perhaps it is the photograph.... but the marks look somewhat contrived and not as crisp as they should be. Not saying that it is fake but I would ...

Hi Miles. Can I suggest that the handle and the picture back bowl are probably a later marriage. I have seen the squirrel before on spoons of a later time.......I too love mysteries.........may pay to check the proportions of the bowl to the handle.....the bowl looks slightly too large for the handl...

The ring is likely to be a specially commissioned one and is very likely to be gold if it came from Africa. The mark would therefore be the initials of the maker. The stone appears to me to be a 'Beryl'...but please don't take my word for that as my monitor shows things much darker than they are and...
