Hi there
A spoon with the RG and anchor (not tulip) mark was sold by Woolley & Wallis, their sale of a private collection of Scottish Provincial Flatware, Tuesday 27th January 2009, lot 251. Date estimated as 1820-30, and I think it was described as a Greenock maker, unidentified. It is seen there with an additional 'tree' mark, which also appears on some other unidentified marks which look like they also contain the double headed eagle of Perth. Sometimes the tree and anchor symbols appear on objects with no maker's mark at all.
Best wishes
