<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cxgirl, post: 217141, member: 63&quot;]I found these 2 little spoons today and was surprised to find out the mark was for&nbsp; a woman and her son - Sarah and John William Blake London 1817, not sure why there isn&#039;t a city mark. Not much information out there,&nbsp; but from what I can find this mark was used from 1809-1823, then her son registered his own mark 1823-28. Not sure what happened to her after 1823.</p><p>I started to look around to see if more women were silver or gold smiths and there were. Here is a bit on collectors weekly.</p><p>Will have to keep looking to see what I can find.[ATTACH=full]64095[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]64094[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-women-silversmiths-of-england/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-women-silversmiths-of-england/" rel="nofollow">http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-women-silversmiths-of-england/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
