A RARE GEORGE IV BRITANNIA STANDARD SNUFF BOX rectangular with engine-turning, concaved sides & raised floral borders, the cover initialled "WC to BI", the gilt interior inscribed "The Produce of Hudgill Burn Lead Mine 1823", by Thomas Shaw, Birmingham 1822; 2.9" (7.4 cms) long; 3 oz *See Luddington, J: Starting to collect silver pp.147 & 148 where John comments on the rare Birmingham Britannia standard mark & Hudgill Burn mine "In The Connoisseur of August 1975, I described my discovery of what might be the rarest of all the nineteenth century hallmarks. On a vinaigrette made by Thomas Shaw, there was an oval shield enclosing the figure of Britannia, denoting the higher standard of silver. (The Assay Master at Birmingham was unaware that such a mark had been struck in Georgian times but, during an unsuccessful search through the archives and vaults of the Assay Office for this very punch, another similar Britannia mark which had been used in the years 1844-6 was discovered)" Proudly engraved within the lid of this vinaigrette and carefully unimpinged upon by the hallmarks, there were the words "The Produce of Hudgill Burn Lead Mine" and with this as my clue I decided, if possible, to discover the history of my box, hoping that there was a romantic story attached to it. In the south of England, no one had heard of Hudgill Burn for it is a very tiny stream, even in the spates of spring, but after a comprehensive search in a nineteenth century edition of 'Bartholomew's citizens' Atlas' of those districts in which lead had been mined in the past, I spotted the name of a hamlet called Leadgate, situated a few miles south west of Alston in Cumbria. The location and history of the mine were well known to the Abbot Hall Museum, Kendal, for the opening and closing of the Hudgill Burn mine had made significant social import over the surrounding countryside.
