wev Moderator Posts: 4132 Registered: Apr 99	posted 05-02-2019 04:57 PM Does Jackson, Grimwade or any other show a maker for these initials? Wyler lists it, but as Unknown. [This message has been edited by wev (edited 05-02-2019).] IP: Logged
doc Posts: 730 Registered: Jul 2003	posted 05-02-2019 08:36 PM Grimwades lists a mark for Joseph Dodds entered in 1789, which has a pellet between the letters, bust also states that there were two similar marks entered in 1790, so perhaps one did not have a pellet. The only other potential option for the timeline is James Darquis, Jr., who entered a mark with a pellet between in 1787; no mention of other marks registered. IP: Logged

There are pictures of his marks accompanied by London hallmarks. Not saying "this is your guy" but another avenue to explore. IP: Logged
cbc58 Posts: 341 Registered: Aug 2008	posted 12-01-2019 09:18 AM Here's an ID I'm trying to ID. Single mark near the base of the stem of table/serving spoon that I think dates to around 1780. I see a few that look similar in the English directories, but those all are accompanied by other marks - this is a stand alone mark. Is this provincial Irish/Scottish ? IP: Logged
