There has been a lot of speculation about the marks of James Watts and/or James Watts' relationship to/with other silversmiths. (See prior posts: maker query - horsehead & Another unknown manufacturer. June and I have never really been certain about the horsehead/chevron (and variations). We haven't seen any solid documentation to support or contradict the horsehead/chevron (and variations) attribution but we do understand the supposition. Here is a mark combination we hadn't seen before. What do you think? IP: Logged |

McGrew suspects the Arrow W Chevron is the second mark of James Watts. See page 62 in McGrew. IP: Logged |

L.LA (if that is what it is) could be Lewis Ladomus (Philadelphiia, w. 1846-78) IP: Logged |
