Searchable database - Edinburgh & Glasgow makers.

Post by Tripoli&Rouge »

Sorry if this is old news but I couldn't find any reference to this in the 'links' page or by searching.

The Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh have produced a searchable database of the records of all silver makers registered at the Edinburgh Assay Office since records began (includes records from Glasgow):

It takes a few minutes of experimentation with the search options to get the best out of it - the results are amazing and include photos of the original marks taken from the punches submitted for registration, sometimes showing several for the same maker.
Regards,
Tom.

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for posting the information.

Details of the Incorporations website are already on this site, but a reminder of this excellent resource is very welcome.
