Clive has an article on George Smith, Georgian silver buckle maker, in The Journal of The Silver Society #26 2010. pages 60-68.
Excellent article. The photos are very good -- did you take the photos? IP: Logged |

Amazing, someone has actually read it ! Thanks Scott . Photos - guilty as charged. Please note that the otherwise incomprehensible line on page 67. left side , last paragraph, should read Somewhere in the proofreading/editing process myself and the editor got our knickers totally scrambled. I apologise for any total bafflement this has caused ! IP: Logged |

Clive An excellent article. I managed to deduce what was meant when I hit the proof-reading error. If I managed, I guess most others will have done so as well. And it is gratifying to know that I am not alone in this sort of cock-up though mine have not been in such an exalted publication. I have always felt there were too many George Smiths and have cavalierly dispensed with numbering the names when listing my pieces. Now that you tell me there was yet another GS, or two George Smith II, I feel strangely justified. David IP: Logged |

I have two readers ! many thanks. . One day I might be able to complete the story . As well as the falsifing of George's wedding date I think he may have been guilty of worse. I am very suspicious that either George, or more likely his wife was involved in the deaths in 1766/67 of one or more of John Eaton, Samuel Eaton, Thomas Eaton and perhaps William Taylor. It seemed to be open season on Eatons and silver buckle makers . I seen buckle makers up to most things now ! Pity no coroners enquiries records survive. IP: Logged |
