TBC Posts: 134 Registered: Jan 2005	posted 07-28-2005 03:19 PM Earlier today I visited a good friend how has a fabulous collection of English silver. My task was to identify as much as I could for him - and I was under a deadline of just an hour and a half for about 50 pieces. Absolute heaven!!! It was as if 20 Friday nights had come together (Friday's the one night of the week that I look out for items that new members post for the fun of helping them identify the piece). And this time I could touch and handle them too!!! This sugar bowel was not readily identifiable to me and so I took a picture. I think it is Chester, 1806. The maker's mark is just too faded to be identifiable to me. I'm posting three pics, two of the hallmarks and one of the item. Any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
