The whelk type shell pattern spoon as a hairline crack running vertically from the rear edge of the mount. This crack appears to be stable but is present and extends to the base of the bowl.

Lot 965

Three George III silver caddy spoons of similar design, with pierced terminals and scalloped bowls, all incompletely hallmarked with lion passants and makers marks only (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: These three spoons are good examples, in good condition exhibiting only minor wear commensurate with age and use. As per the catalogue description all spoons bear only lion passant marks together with makers marks and are therefore lacking assay offices and date letters. The makers marks are as follows: WD and GP (unable to trace), W.V in a square shield, which assuming the spoon was assayed in London could be for Walter Brind, and finalyy GS in a scrolled font within a square shield, which again assuming the spoon was assayed in London could be for George Smith or possibly Gabriel Sleath.

Lot 988

Lot 994

A George III silver jockey cap caddy spoon by Thomas Law Sheffield 1811, together with an early 19th century silver plated jockey cap caddy spoon. CONDITION REPORT: The Thomas Law jockey cap spoon is a clean and fair condition example. The hallmark and makers mark are both clearly struck. There is slight rubbing and loss of definition to the peak of the cap and the cap itself is slightly asymmetrical but does appear to be part of the original manufacturing process as opposed to any later damage. The spoon appear to have been measured by soldering triangular portions of the cap together with a central circular boss locking these sections together. There is a very slight gap between the rear two portions of the cap visible when held up to daylight. The gap does appear to be stable with no attempts to repair this. The silver plated example is quite worn to the plating and does not bear any makers marks.

Lot 995

A Victorian cast silver scallop form caddy spoon by Holland, Son & Slater London 1881, a George III silver caddy spoon with interesting figural terminal and scalloped bowl by Sarah John and William Blake, London 1814, a George IV silver shovel form caddy spoon, probably by William Knight II, London 1827, together with three other George III silver caddy spoons and one other 18th century incompletely marked silver caddy spoon.

The remaining spoons, four are in good overall condition commensurate with age and bear clear hallmarks and makers marks whilst the remaining spoon, a scallop bowl with pierced and scrolled terminal is in good overall condition but incompletely hallmarked with purely a lion passant mark and a slightly rubbed makers mark which appears to read TH.

The surface has slight scuffing and wear commensurate with age and use together with an extremely small dent to the front edge of bowl. The shovel form spoon by Stephen Adams is of good gauge and quality, apart from slight surface wear appears to be good example with clear hallmark and makers mark. The two other hallmarked silver spoons are both in good overall condition but do have slightly dull and scuffed surfaces. The shovel form spoon with long mother of pearl terminal (catalogued as white metal) does bear hallmarks but these are right to the inside of the bowl and constitute purely a lion passant mark together with a monarch head. The terminal is free of chips or cracks whilst the shovel bowl is slightly misshaped and to the underside bears oxidised circular label mark which does appear to be removable with cleaning.

Lot 1011

A group of seven George III silver caddy spoons by Samuel Pemberton, displaying different shapes and designs and all with filigree bowls, all hallmarked for Birmingham between 1804 and 1809 (see illustration).
