provincial snuff spoon. maker RG?

Post by jmaps23 »

Recently come across this Hanoverian snuff spoon, The makers mark appears to be RG struck twice, one with a square out line and one in a wavy outline. There are others marks present but unfortunately too rubbed to identify. Would appreciate any help with finding the maker. Thanks James

Found this mark in Timothy Kents book West Country Silversmiths , the mark appears to match Ralph Good's mark, would be great full for some opinions on this?

Hi James,

Great sleuthing! From what I can see of your mark, it looks like you have found a match.

Is it possible to capture a sharp close-up of it?

Hi Trev

Thanks for the response, I will try and capture some clearer photos over the next few days, the camera I have isn't quite capable of taking high detailed photos , but will borrow a better one in the next few days.

Thanks

James
