Mary Mountgomery

Post by Argentum2 »

Would anyone have an example of a mark registered in Dublin for Mary Mountgomery who assayed items in 1910 and 1912?

Mary Sophia Juliana Maude (1841-1928), daughter of the Rt. Hon. John Charles Maude, Rector of Enniskillen, and Mary Cely Trevilian, married 1870, the Rt. Hon. Hugh de Fellenberg Montgomery of Blessingbourne, Co. Fermanagh.

In 1892/93, she founded a needlework class in Fivemiletown, Co Fermanagh, that later evolved into a metalwork craft class specializing in art nouveau copper and eventually pewter and silver work.

Copperwork bore a mark of 5 over MT: for Fivemiletown.

The workshops closed at the outbreak of war in 1914 and did not re-open.

Can anyone identify a mark on a piece of silver?

Sorry, that should have been Fivemiletown, Co. Tyrone.
