Description
A desirable silver marrow scoop dating from around the middle of the 18th Century. The fine example has an elongated narrow scoop and a shorter large scoop. The hallmarks are of interest to collectors as they have the Maker's mark struck four times and no further marks. This was often a duty dodge tactic, but as the style and positioning of the marks suggest the mid 1700's, this explanation is doubtful.
A superb and early collector's piece.
Maker:- R B or R R - unidentified.
