Featured Sterling modernist jewellery maker - MET

I had a look too and sadly it’s a dead end isn’t it! Absolutely nothing out there but at least you have a name as to who made it. Maybe a true one off!.
I however have learned that it’s inadvisable to Google anything involving ‘Tickle’ without filters as someone called Delores wanted to help

 

As has already been said, you'd think someone making as good quality would have some history, eh?

 

Ancestry has a Michael Eric Tickle. Record with the General Register Office. 1938-2001.

That fits. Does it say place of birth?

 

I don't have a subscription to Ancestry so couldn't go further. Some kind forum member who does may be willing to help.

Ah... Familysearch.org has him dying in Tunbridge Wells. Birth date May 5, 1938. May have been born in Bromley, also in Kent. May have married 1962 to Denise V. Brown.

South East London, so a decent geography match. There's a Tickle listed in Kelly's in the 30s, family maybe.

Bromley was once in Kent, but is now a London borough.

Why don't you ask these people?

You must be tickled pink by that news.

 

There is a Michael Eric Tickle on MyHeritage. Maybe someone with an account could have access to more information :

The name is filed under "England & Wales Deaths, GRO Indexes, 1969 - 2007".

 

Thank you everyone for your investigations. I have emailed the Contemporary British Silversmiths at Deborah's suggestion, if I hear anything I will let you all know.

 

WoW! What a fabulous find!
