Need help with hallmark on marrow spoon

[tnbelles]

Hi -
Could anyone help identify the hallmarks on this silver marrow spoon? A crown in the center (Sheffield?) and the name Jones on each side (Jones and Jones?). Thanks for the assistance.

Hello.
Those marks remind me of British close plate marks. Could not find those exact marks in my references.

Here's a scan of an "Old Sheffield Plate" (fused plate) Jones mark. Not sure if it's the same Jones.
Firms often used slightly different marks on their close plated wares from their marks on fused plate.
