Hi,

I have this table spoon in the hanoverian pattern assayed in Exeter :

The hallmarks are good for Exeter 1790-91, but I have no reference for a maker J.M.?

Could someone help identify this maker?
Thanks

Hi Dinio,

I can only find reference to one 'JM' in Jacksons that fits into that timeframe. John Manley III of Newton Abbot, first mention 1760, last mention 1794.

Regards Trev.

Hi Trev,

Thank you for this prompt answer. I could not find such a provincial maker with my (insufficient) documentation.

Thanks again.
