[QUOTE="916Bulldogs123, post: 17961, member: 75"]I received my answer. Hi Mike, Many thanks for your query, which Alan has passed to me for a response. From the image you sent, I can confirm that this appears to be a genuine Mason's mark. This square crown is a later mark which was used by either Francis Morley or Ashworth who acquired the rights to the Mason's name after CJ Mason became bankrupt in 1849, or thereabouts. As this mark was used over a long period of time it is almost impossible to give a precise date of manufacture - it could be anywhere from c1850 to c1910. Hope this helps, Best wishes, Malcolm Lewin Chairman, Mason's Collectors' Club[/QUOTE]
