Below is the rest of my COLLECTION.
1)Georgian (George III) Sterling Silver Tablespoon
Dated: 1791
City Mark: London
Maker: Unknown as the Maker's Hallmark is almost rubbed out; perhaps Orlando Jackson? From what I can make out under a magnifying glass, the mark is a horizontal oval, the first letter being either a G, O or Q (As I can only see the left half of the first initial!).
Odd Tidbit: Is inscribed with the markings "WR to WS"; I am descended, on my mother's side, from the Small family of Port Augusta, South Australia, Australia. Perhaps an heirloom from them.
2) Victorian (Queen Victoria) Sterling Silver Teaspoon
Dated: 1852
City Mark: London
Maker: In all probability, Charles Watson (but no evidence of his mark remains).
Odd Tidbit: Monogrammed with "JS" (from James Small, early descendent).
3) Sterling Silver Money Clip
Dated: 2002
City Mark: Birmingham
Maker: Barker Ellis Silver Company
Odd Tidbit: A present from my girlfriend!
4) Georgian (George III) Sterling Silver Salts
Dated: 1784
City Mark: London
Maker: Robert Hennell ("Good, general work" - Ian Pickford in 'Jackson's Hallmarks')
Odd Tidbit: Has the not unusual boat shape, but is notable as having unusual duty marks. The marks used were only used for two years (from 1784 to 1785), as this date is second year of the duty mark.
