Hello there,
I could use assistance with identifying the Maker's Mark stamped in this nice little sugar bowl I found. After some research, I have discerned that is is from London 1812, however the Maker's Mark has been worn to virtually unreadable. Please see the pics below. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello adiautu-

I do not know for sure, but they look like marks that are made to imitate London pre 1822. For some reason they just do not look right, and look more like pseudomarks; in my un-professional opinion anyway. I will wait to hear from the experts along with you. But in the meanwhile check out:
