I have two pieces, a fish slice and a mug, both of which have what appears to be a variant of John Cook's mark. They are also marked (AGT.). In addition the mug, which has an inscription and date of 1870, also has the mark of C.F. Greenwood & Bro. of Norfolk Virginia. Is this John Cook? Does the AGT. stand for agent? Has anyone seen this before and have any further information? IP: Logged |

In passing, I note that in 2001 the Virginia Historical Society bought for their museum: 65. Coin silver child’s cup marked “C. F. Greenwood & Bro.,” Norfolk, Va., inscribed “Charlie T. But whether it has the additional JC mark, I don't know. IP: Logged |

Does AGT perhaps stand for ARGENT? IP: Logged |

I believe that the AGT. mark does stand for agent. John Cook was part of T. Evans & Company of New York, and you can note the similarity of the shape of the illustrated mark to that of T.Evans. I recall seeing a piece at one point with the two-diamond Cook mark accompanied by the full stamp "AGT. FOR T. EVANS". I theorize that the items peddled by Cook in the South and West had marks for Cook, while the same items sold in the North may have had the Evans mark. Brent IP: Logged |
