<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LucyLocket, post: 7320997, member: 13859&quot;]The crown was used for Sheffield - anchor for Birmingham. It would seem that the only years a capital E was used for Sheffield were 1799, 1848 &amp; 1872 (also 1947 but that is a very different style E). 1799 can be discounted as the lozenges were a different shape. I wonder if the mark between the lion and the crown is a duty mark or a very unclear queen?</p><p>The makers mark looks like JEC &amp; co to me&nbsp; and the only maker with those initials that I can find was JE Caldwell who set up business in Philadelphia in around 1839. I believe some US goldsmiths sent their wares to be hallmarked in England.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
