Provenance: A Private Collection. The Cookson Collection. For illustrations of the Apostles and a write up of this Documentary set see How, G., in collaboration with How J., English and Scottish Silver Spoons, Volume Two, page 10, Chapter III, Section II, pages 150-151, plate 51, Chapter III, Section I, pages 18-25, plates 4-7. How Writes 'The Mambury Set of 1607, consisting of ten Apostles in very fine condition, is a most valuable document as it contains both St. Paul with the Long Sword and St. Philip with the Short Cross, not previously found together in a set. St. Jude with the Long Cross and St. Bartholomew with the Flaying Knife is also represented. The emblems of the missing figures are not in dispute as the figures omitted are The Master, St. James The Greater, St. James the Less and St. Matthew. One of these Apostles would in any case have been left out as St. Paul is present: it was probably St. Matthew, who seems to have been The Apostle most generally omitted.'
