The Fifth Muffineer (London 1700s)

[Aguest]

The Fifth Muffineer:

Possibly Samuel Wheat. This one has a monogram and a faint image of a Stag family crest (a full length stag image)




The top of the muffineer is marked, and I believe I see the same hallmarks as the base, but the image is so faded that it
would not be of any service to post the pic here. Extremely faded hallmarks on top, but consistent with the base.

Hi,

I'm inclined to go for Samuel Wight Welles with this one, and 1754.

It would be good to hear the views of others.

I would also throw Samuel Wood in here. Both Wood's and Welles's marks have similar script lettering with pellet between. Welles's mark is in an oval punch; Wood's mark has a punch whose edges follow the outline of the letters. I cannot be absolutely sure which one it is, but I think that I favour Samuel Wood.

Yes, a good call Phil, a known caster maker.
