Smaug Posts: 4 Registered: May 2010	posted 06-17-2016 09:16 AM Hi Kimo, I posted in the new because I couldn't get into the other areas, for some reason using my previous logon, I have been working with this site for a very long time.. search smaug or t-man-nc, but for the sake of info... I am a retired executive after 49 years in the IT industry, have been collecting old coin silver for the past 35 years, my interest is in early American silversmith. why I am post is I am in the process of acquiring a piece from the mid 1700's and wanted some background on the smith, John S. Hutton. I saw that WEV did not have a mark for this smith in his site, and as I am nearly blind, I am having the wife take pics and send them... PS I get my grandson to read a lot of the material to me, so I may not get everything entirely correct, but I do love the silver and admire those who can may so many beautiful things. Thanks, Smaug (ken) IP: Logged

wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 06-17-2016 04:47 PM Nice to see you back, Smaug. Look at John Strangeways Hutton. He used at least two more marks than I show. IP: Logged
Smaug Posts: 4 Registered: May 2010	posted 06-17-2016 07:05 PM Kimo no worries... Just wasn't able to get into the coin silver posting area...I will send photos... IP: Logged
wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 06-17-2016 07:42 PM Sent along to me The mark (which is actually J.H) does resemble the Ensko drawing, but I have never seen it on an actual piece. IP: Logged
