Keith John Thompson

Post by Peartree »

I am trying to find out more about the silversmith Keith John Thompson. He registered his first KJT mark at the Sheffield assay office in 1954 amd was certainly working into the 1970’s. I believe based in or near Peterborough. Would love to know more about him. Certainly a very skilled silversmith. Thank you Anthnoy

This is the Keith John Thompson piece I acquired that prompted my research. Fantastic quality and gauge. Would love to see more of his work if anyone has some. [Note this set is sold, this is not a promotion].

Hi Anthony,

Do you have an image of the marks to share with us?

The National Probate Calendar gives his place of death in 1990 as Whittlesey and the 1975 telephone directory shows the same address.

An extract from his will is as follows:

“I leave to xxx the tools equipment and stock relating to my part time business of gold and silversmith...."
