<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 80846, member: 44&quot;]Another, Oh my, what a lovely piece. Baker beat me to the same conclusions. The London city mark was not stamp many times on narrow smaller items and especially not on them back in &quot;them thar days.&quot; I worked on editing the pic in hopes of making out the 2nd letter in the marker&#039;s mark with no luck. I think the maker&#039;s mark was kind of doubled stamped because if that is the date letter code on the bottom, the shape of the punch doesn&#039;t seem to match any of the punch shapes used from 1786-1821 when this particular Geo. III stamp was used. Whatever stamp is on the bottom, looks like it is an oval or round shaped punch.</p><p><a href="http://www.silvercollection.it/englishsilverhallmarks.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvercollection.it/englishsilverhallmarks.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvercollection.it/englishsilverhallmarks.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I had the same luck as Baker on the maker&#039;s mark of &quot;I,&quot; big dot in the middle, whatever the 2nd letter - no luck. There were many I dot maker&#039;s marks that meet the time frame of 1786-1821, especially the I dot B.

Just being able to say of the George III era is the best selling point. Sorry, I have no help for you on the glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
