I find Jackson pretty useless for London (and other) makers after about 1800 or so; some are mentioned, but they only seem to be there to illustrate the year marks. IP: Logged
Silver Lyon Posts: 363 Registered: Oct 2004	posted 11-22-2004 08:57 AM Edward H. Stockwell was one of the finest makers of small novelties (such as your peppers) in London during the period c.1870-1894. The business, in Greek Street in London's Soho (where there were many silver workshops, unlike today!!) was very prosperous and supplied most of the large retail establishments in London and the British provinces. EHS registered many designs at the Patent Office - these are available at the English National Archives in Kew, near London and SOMETIMES even name the designer!! (They are called 'Patent Office Design Registers') Hope this helps IP: Logged
