Greetings again, all.
Here we have a Sterling Silver Salt, hallmarked for London, 1783. This and the Hastings spoon I previously posted about are currently the only two pieces in my (very limited) collection who's makers I can't satisfactorily nail down.
There's precious little to go on here, but I believe the maker to be Daniel Smith & Robert Sharp (registered 1780), which I get from Jackson's p. 223, and also here: https://www.925-1000.com/bx_ds&rs.html
I imagine it's impossible to be certain, but what say you?
Cheers, Walt.

Daniel Smith and Robert Sharp looks like the only viable option:

Cheers Phil,
Yes, given the time frame and a bit of judicious, good old fashion deduction, there seems to be no better candidate.
I'll close the book on this one then, thank you for your time.
