Author	Topic: CJ maker
wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 01-16-2017 03:33 PM I have tentatively attributed this mark to Chauncey Jonhson, c 1820 in Albany, but only because there are so few other possible C/J name possibilities. The piece is a narrow fiddleback teaspoon of very good weight with a strongly molded oval drop and small flared shoulders. It is struck twice with different punches -- I am assuming the partial is a larger version of the smaller CJ. Anyone seem either before?

The Directory of Scottish Provincial Silversmiths @ Their Marks pg 20 provides a picture of the exact marks you have presented. In addition, the photo also has the "INS" stamp. IP: Logged

Having looked at it, my money is absolutely on Charles Jamieson of Inverness (1797-1819). Nice spoon and it looks in good condition. IP: Logged
adelapt Posts: 418 Registered: May 2003	posted 01-24-2017 10:31 PM Yep - Charles Jamieson is my bet. I have a couple of items (flat and hollowware) by this maker with identical marks, the initials and the sideways J. IP: Logged
