Hello,

Please find below pictures of an inkwell assayed in Birmingham in 1905 and the hallmarks. I was wondering whether it could be made by William BATEMAN. Thanks for your help. Best Regards. Myriam

I feel the most likely candidate for your maker is William Bocking. He traded from Ebor Works, Gell Street, Sheffield during the period in which your piece was assayed
