<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 151059, member: 44&quot;]The closest I could come to the maker&#039;s mark with that script 2nd letter L was John Lampfert. Nowww he may be too early for his mark was registered in 1746 and found on 1763-1773 flatware. Also the shape of his punch as shown on the silvermakersmarks.co.uk website &quot;London Assay Office&quot; is a rectangle as opposed to a curved anything like on this bowl. No doubt af will say the bloke thingy, but as this dates to the early 1800s, it sure would be interesting to known the maker.</p><p><a href="http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/London-JL-JP.html#JL" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/London-JL-JP.html#JL" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/London-JL-JP.html#JL</a></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, Baker, I believe the date letter is for 1808 rather than 1805. The London date code charts on 925-1000, silvermakersmarks and silvercollection.it have this N in this punch for 1808. They have a &quot;K&quot; for 1805.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.925-1000.com/dlc_london.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.925-1000.com/dlc_london.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.925-1000.com/dlc_london.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/Date%20Letters%20N.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/Date%20Letters%20N.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/Date Letters N.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.silvercollection.eu/englishsilverhallmarks.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvercollection.eu/englishsilverhallmarks.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvercollection.eu/englishsilverhallmarks.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>With the lack of the crowned leopard head for the city of London, I can understand, but with the sovereign head of George III, the duty mark, missing also seems unusual. It isn&#039;t like this is a small item with little room for the hallmarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
