I have been asked about a spoon, apparently silverplate, bearing the following marks (from top to bottom): [?:] 7 [Maker:] J W & [in quatrefoil] J W [Date:] D [upper case, serif] = 1860 [Assay:] (three-tower castle) = Exeter [Standard:] (lion passant) = sterling ? plate? (not passant gardent; i.e: lion is facing straight ahead, not to the left) [Duty:] (Victoria) = 1837-1901 Can anyone tell me about the maker of this spoon??? Thanks in advance, Chris Andersen [log in to unmask]
