A dealer friend just e-mailed me to see if I knew the incised/intaglio mark "J P ALLEN", supposedly of Kentucky origin. I checked my notes, and found nothing to indicate this was a Ky. smith. Does anyone have record of who this was? "P" wasn't the middle initial of James Allen of Charleston, SC, was it?? IP: Logged |

Hello there. John A. Allen is in Polk's directory as a jeweler, 1876/7. The South Carolina smith is spelled Allan (James Allan & Co., jewelers), no initial given. Boultinghouse & Burton are the references respectively. I have a list of southern smiths culled from Magazine Antiques & there is no listing for a J.P. Allen there. Anyone else? IP: Logged |

You are very correct regarding my spelling on Allan of Charleston. Thanks for the look up for J P Allen. He may remain a mystery. IP: Logged |

This is an old post. The presumptive owner of this mark is a jeweler named John P Allen of Dawson, Terrell County, Georgia who was born in 1831 in Georgia. John is found working as a jeweler in the 1870 and 1880 U S Federal Census's. IP: Logged |

There was also a John P. Allen, jeweler, working in Springfield, Ohio around the 1860s - he was related to a Benjamin Allen, another jeweler. This does not seem to be the same man as the Georgia jeweler Capt. John P. Allen. I have a spoon marked incuse J.P.ALLEN that is in a typical Cincinnati style, which I can provide pictures of.
