Shellback Maker

Here's an early shellback with a very rudimentary shell.
I can't recognise the maker from the little which remains.

Hi Miles,

I would guess this may be the crown on top of Marmaduke Daintrey's mark.

Some sources give Daintrey credit as the first to make spoons in this style.

Well done, Trev. I didn't think of looking at it that way.
