Does anyone know if the S in William Simpkins mark is serif or sans serif? Also does the S always appear to have been slightly crudely made and slightly slanted? I have never seen Simpkins mark where there is the short perpendicular line at the start and end of the S which would make the S a serif S. These seemingly minor differences can make all the difference when assigning who the silversmith was. Again, thanks for any input. IP: Logged |

There are two WS marks shown (regrettably small) in Kane. In both the S appears san serif, but quite possibly because the punch was worn, rather than by intent, as the W is serifed. The first of the two is the mark shown in Belden and on my site. I also show another version with a serifed S, but with the caveat that it may be William Simes, as it resembles a cut-down version of his name-in-full punch. IP: Logged |
