[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 66799, member: 59"]By close to 100 years. ;) He died in 1832 and his TD marks weren't used after 1822 when he went into a partnership. That date letter is very distinctive to the 1916-1935 cycle in London. My struggle at first was thinking it might be a g, but the top of the g doesn't match your punch. In addition, if this was marked in the early 1800's, it's missing the monarch's head (not a huge deal) but the lion's head would be crowned (which it doesn't appear to be.) I can't find a single London TD maker in the 20th century. It may have to be a mystery for the moment.[/QUOTE]
