Copper anyone?

I bought a massive amount of antique copper that I need to date. It's all from the UK. One piece is a coal scuttle big enough to bath in lol.

Anyhoo, dating it....does anyone have a great reference book specific to copper they could recommend? I like to be as accurate as possible in the shop.

When we do a buy I typically have an expert with me so I know pretty clearly what and when things are from but this buy was so huge we didn't get time to individually date it all. So now I have to get to work

As far as identifying Makers goes this web site is the most comprehensive. http://oldcopper.org/

 

Heh heh yes the avatar is a bible box. I didn't upload pictures because there are so many pieces and I don't expect y'all to do my work for me. Thank you for the website! I hadn't even started looking because my ship hadn't come in but given it's due in days I must kick it in the buns. For fun...here are a couple of pieces...
