Edinburgh Makers' mark.
Hello Paul,
The Edinburgh office web site http://incorporationofgoldsmiths.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; doesn' seem to have an entry for either JS over WC or JS over WG so it looks as though the mark wasn't registered.
Regards,

Thanks Trev. You'll agree though it's an odd shaped single punch.
Just to add a little spice there's brief mention on Edinburgh AO web site of Sutter (or Souter as he was also called) engaging in some forgery of marks involving a chap named Ashenheim and a retailer named Ash.
Sutter was apprenticed in 1815 registering his own Edinburgh mark in 1826 and last there in 1829. He subsequently registered at Newcastle in 1832 and Chester in 1839.
He certainly got around!

Hi,
I'm not sure what Sutter was up to in Edinburgh, but it's interesting to note that his fellow apprentice was that old rascal, Alexander Dick. Dick left for Australia in the 1820's, paying his own passage, if he had stuck around a little longer, I suspect the government would have paid it for him!
Do you think that 'Ash' is a typo for 'Ashenheim'?

Hello and welcome to the Forum.
John Sutter gave the following addresses when registering as a silversmith at the Chester Assay Office:
1839 29 Standish Street
1843 8 Fleet Street
1857-60 12 Williamson Street
1868-74 College Lane
All addresses were in Liverpool.
No address is known for him in Edinburgh where he lived from 1815 at the latest to 1829 nor in Newcastle where he lived from 1832-33.
He is known to have also used the names Souter or Soutar when in Edinburgh. He was apprenticed from 1815 to a silversmith there named Charles Dalgleish.
Hope this helps.
