| 439. | William Hannay, c.1800 - a tablespoon, Old English pattern, initialled WG (four marks WH; rat; anchor; W) (the second W mark, from Hannay's maker's punch, is struck to imitate a 'date' letter). A fine clearly punched example of the 'rat' mark. £150 - 200. ~ "This fine tablespoon had one of the best examples of the mouse / rat mark that I have seen.

An unusual set of marks with the rat mark struck twice and a Glasgow-type tree mark. £120 - 160. ~ "With a rare set of two mouse / rat marks, although more worn than the previous lot, I felt that this spoon would have gone higher if it had not had an old repair to the bowl". | 130 |

| 443. | EW, c.1810 - a tablespoon, Old English pattern, initialled B (five marks - EW; double-headed eagle twice; s; tree). Although this untraced maker has been listed under Perth, stylistically the form would suggest a West of Scotland origin. £50 - 70. | 48 |
| 444. | James Cornfute, c.1785 - a tablespoon, Old English pattern, initialled G over WS (four bottom marks - IC twice; double-headed eagle twice). £50 - 80. | 55 |

I have known of the probable existence of this set of marks for a number of years and their attribution to James Brown of Perth.

| Lot 446 |
| 446. | James Brown & Francis Brown (Perth Area), c.1745 - a rare tablespoon, Hanoverian pattern with faceted long drop heel, initialled A (three bottom marks - IB; FB; fleur-de-lys) (but with minor bruising to bowl). A Francis Brown was baptised on the 30th August 1719 in Perth, the son of James Brown. Further, a Francis Brown was married in Perth Cathedral on the 19th January 1750. These marks have often been attributed to John Baillie of Inverness even though Baillie's mark is recorded in a different shaped punch and with the INS mark. Hence the reference in Highland Gold and Silversmith's by Moss & Roe doubting the attribution of the IB FB fleur-de-lys marks. Please see the preceding lot with IB punch for James Brown. £200-300. ~ "Another combination of marks that have now been attributed to probably being for James Brown and his son Francis Brown". | 600 |

For information on William Stephen Ferguson see 'Provincial Silversmiths of Moray and their Marks' by G.P. Moss, p.67 - p. 77. £800 - 1200. ~ "Another indication of a Provincial mark, even in this case as a possible retailer, greatly increasing the price of an item. Without the William Ferguson of Peterhead mark this item I would suggest would only sell for around £100". | 850 |
