In this Forum we discuss the silver of the United Kingdom, as well as British Colonial silver and Old Sheffield Plate. Past British - Irish Sterling topics/threads worth a look. |

 Ok, here is a real stumper. I posted this a while back in the Coin Silver forum to no avail, so I am reviving it here. I can honestly say that I have no idea where this piece comes from. The spoon is obviously late 18th-early 19th century and very heavy. To me, the style and typically English monogram suggest an English or English colonial origin. My first thought when I saw it was Scottish provincial or Channel Islands, but Jackson and Mayne have let me down. Any ideas? West Indies/Bermuda, Cape Town, Australia and New Zealand are all possibilities, but I do not have the references to check out them out. Any ideas would be appreciated. Brent IP: Logged |

Another toughie from the archives. Beyond Brent's suggestions I have no clue on this one at all. IP: Logged |

I'm afraid I am still in the dark on this as well. I continue to enjoy owning it; maybe someday the answer will emerge. Brent IP: Logged |
