Author	Topic: William Manton & Son/Sons?
abesilverman Posts: 38 Registered: Jan 2004	posted 01-20-2004 05:39 AM I'm a tad short on English reference books. Can anyone post a touchmark from William Manton & Son or Sons? I have a touchmark reference for William Manton himself, but non for himself with his son or sons. Also, if anyone could recommend a reference book which would have some information about them - it would be greatly appreciated. (See General Forum for item and touchmark - It was suggested to me from an antiques dealer in Ireland that William Manton & Son or Sons may have been the manufacturers of my item.) Thank you in advance! IP: Logged

You are aware that the "EP" means that this is electroplate and not sterling? [This message has been edited by swarter (edited 03-03-2004).] IP: Logged
Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 03-03-2004 12:41 PM William Manton was indeed a silver company. This is from a 1903 buttonhole vase assayed in Chester. William Manton also made silver thimbles as late as the 1980s. IP: Logged
