There seem to be no record of the exact date the York date letter changed each year, with the exception of a statement by the Inspector General of Stamps and Taxes who noted one such change taking place on 13 August 1851 (as quoted by H. Murray, A Directory of York Goldsmiths, Silversmith and Associated Craftsmen, York, 1998, p.152. As such the present waiter could actually have been made in either the second part of 1807 or the first part of 1808. Reviewing the York Assay Office Ledger, as published by Michael Baggott, (M. Baggott, An Illustrated Guide to York Hallmarks 1776-1858, Bodmin, 2010, pp. 150-176), suggests the waiter could be either '1 waiter' which was submitted by Mess'r Cattle & Barber on '1808 7 Jany' as part of a parcel of silver weighing 123 ounces or 'waiter' submitted by the same on '1808 Mar 26' as part of a parcel of silver weighing 297 ounces and 9 pennyweights. . Fully marked underneath, though lacking 'town mark', There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The wear is noticeable as a softening to the engraving and the border.
