Another was sold by Bonhams on 2 November 2011, lot 172. They are marked with a partially obscured crossed batons mark.Two suggestions have been made with regard to the 'Klepser' group. Firstly, that they are part of a dozen plates referred to in the London Day Book for 1787 as being ordered by Lord Hawke. Secondly, that they are the Chelsea 'replacement' plates which Samuel Keys attributed to William Billingsley in his 'Recollections' of 1837. These possibilities are discussed by Stephen Mitchell, The Marks on Chelsea-Derby (2007), pp.130-3.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
