Hi
I have this soup ladle finished in a typical fiddle pattern. It is marked with a makers mark only struck 3 times C.S.B. My initial thoughts are Scottish provincial but I may be completely wrong. Does anybody know who this maker is or where its origins might lie?
Thanks
Martin
Is this ladle Scottish prvincial?

Hi Martin,
Just shooting in the dark, but possibly an alternate mark used by Calvin Stowe Ball?

Thanks for the reply Trev, you might be on to something, however to me the style seems more British than other American ladles I have seen.

Re: Is this ladle Scottish prvincial?
I have been doing a bit of research on this mark and have found a reference in Jackson's (p576) of an unidentified Glasgow maker G.S.B. I have been unable to find any images of this mark and was wondering if this may be a misascribed C.S.B instead. Has anybody seen or got a reference to an image of a Glagow maker with the mark G.S.B ?
Many thanks for any help on this.
