"JR&S" Non-Standard Marks

Post by Traintime »

A 12-inch teaspoon or canoe paddle looking deceptively like John Round & Sons marks until you blink. Could it be Canadian...a leaf mark?

It looks like JOSEPH RODGERS & SONS or JOHN ROUND & SON it's hard to tell with the marks after S.

Hi,

I doubt it's neither, but would love to be proved wrong.

John Round & Son did do a large business in Canada, if that is the origin of the spoon, but their advertisements for the Canadian market show different marks:

The trade mark of Joseph Rodgers & Sons, the Star and Cross, was so well-known around the world as a mark of quality, I cannot see them leaving this out of their marks.

That said, I'm sure in the back of my mind that there was an English maker that used a maple-leaf mark, but at the moment it escapes me.

Trev.
