'AD ARDUA TENDO' for McOlum or McAllum marks on handles are poorly struck, but clearly visible is the script-capital G which, most probably, is the mark of Gilsland & Ker, the knife blade and presumably the prongs are Victorian and by J & W Marshall'. | 45 |

| 117. | John Sellar, - c. 1840 - a fiddle pattern teaspoon, initialled F (two marks - JS; ELGIN). £70-£100 ~ This teaspoon surprised when it went for £ 140 as it was not in the best overall condition. | 140 |

Members may be interested to note that this pair of spoons were from the same set as the one offered at last October's sale which, although in excellent condition with clear marks, did not sell, being bought in at £800. | 900 |
| 120. | John & Patrick Riach, c. 1825 - a rare tablespoon en suite with the preceding, initialled GS (three marks - tower; IPR; tower). £800-£1,200 ~ see Lot 119. | 840 |
| 121. | John & Patrick Riach, c. 1825 - a rare '" tablespoon, fiddle pattern, initialled S? £500-£800 ~ This tablespoon had more overall wear that the previous two examples. It was possibly the good set of marks that took it to a top estimate price of £800. | 800 |

| 128. | Mitchell & Son, 1822 - a pair of fiddle pattern sugar tongs with shell bowls, initialled AS. £25-£35 Although Jackson mentions the earliest recorded date for Mitchell & Son as 1825, these are clearly marked 1822. | N/S |

| 138. | William Clark (possibly), c. 1800 - a large pointed-end tablespoon with pointed bowl, initialled I (five marks - WC; anchor; sailing ship; C; oak tree). £120-£160 ~ This large tablespoon was in fine overall condition with a good 'full set' of Greenock marks. | 160 |
| 139. | Alexander Campbell (possibly), c. 1810 - a large tablespoon, Old English pointed-end pattern, initialled IM (four marks - AC; oak tree; G; anchor). £60-£90 | 80 |
| 140. | Thomas Davie, c. 1800 - a large tablespoon, Old English pointed-end pattern, initialled RGIZ (five marks - TD; anchor; sailing ship; C; oak tree). £150-£200 ~ The only thing against this tablespoon was that it had slight wear to the tip of the bowl. | 160 |
| 141. | John Heron, c. 1810 - a teaspoon of unusual fiddle pattern with 'filled-in' shoulders, initialled IMG and numbered 10 (three marks - IH script; anchor; oak tree) (small hairline crack to edge of bowl). £20-£30 | 28 |

| 144. | John Heron, c. 1810 - a fine quality soup ladle of heavy gauge, fiddle pattern with circular bowl (five marks - IH script; anchor; sailing ship; 0; oak tree). £300-£500 ~ With another 'full set' of marks and being in good overall condition, this soup ladle sold well. It's only down side was that an inscription may have been erased and there were small 'nicks' on the edge of the fiddle. | 460 |
| 145. | Alexander Stewart, c. 1810 - a teaspoon, oar pattern, initialled R (two marks - AS; INS). £40-£60 | 48 |

| 150. | Jameson & Naughten, c. 1815 - a toddy ladle, plain oar pattern (three marks - J INS; cornucopia). £200-£250 ~ I would suggest that this ladle had an overoptimistic estimate. It had a filled and repaired bowl as well as a previous inscription having been removed. Being bought in at £110 shows that poor quality items will not sell. | N/S |
| 151. | Alexander Stewart, c. 1810 - a pair of large ~ Old English pattern sugar tongs with circular bowls, initialled AR (two marks - AS struck on each arm). £100-£150 | N/S |
| 153. | Robert Naughten, c. 1820 - a large table- spoon, fiddle pattern, initialled AA (three marks - RN; cornucopia; thistle). £100-£150 ~ This Robert Naughten tablespoon was in good overall condition thus it sold at mid estimate. | 130 |
| 164. | William Mill (possibly), c. 1810 - a pair of Old English sugar tongs initialled IY (three marks - thistle; WM; Duty mark). £30-£50 | 30 |

| 171. | William Hannay, c. 1795 - a pointed-end teaspoon (three marks - WH; anchor; WH). £30-£50 | 25 |
| 169. | William Hannay, 1808 - an unusual teaspoon of truncated fiddle pattern with long stem, initialled 1M (four marks - WH in serrated punch; and three Edinburgh marks). £15-£25 | 18 |
| 170. | William Hannay, 1811 - a pair of sugar tongs of distinctive long fiddle pattern with part shell bowls, initialled REW (four marks - WH; and four Edin- burgh marks). £30-£50 | 32 |
| 171. | William Hannay, c. 1795 - a pointed-end teaspoon (three marks - WH; anchor; WH). £30-£50 | 25 |
| 172. | EW, c.1810 - a fine tablespoon, Old English pattern with pointed bowl, initialled B (five marks - EW; double-headed eagle; S; double-headed eagle; tree). £50-£80 These marks would suggest a West of Scotland origin. It is interesting to note that these marks are often found with those of James Wright. | 55 |
| 173. | Robert Greig (probably), 1834/6 - an unusual pair of sugar tongs of fiddle and shell pattern with shell bowls, initialled CW (date letter miss-struck). £25-£40 A provincial attribution is likely as the Edinburgh assay marks have been struck to the inside of the bow rather than on the arms - probably to align with the maker's mark already struck. | N/S |
| 174. | Robert Keay I, c. 1795 - an attractive set of six Celtic-point teaspoons with bright-cut borders and vacant naiveté-shaped cartouche (three marks - single-headed eagle twice; RK). £150-£200 ~ These six teaspoons were in top condition, probably hardly having been used. | 200 |
| 175. | David Greig, c. 1820 - a teaspoon, fiddle pattern, initialled IE (four marks - DG twice; eagle twice). £30-£50 | 28 |
| 176. | Robert Keay, c. 1820 - a teaspoon, fiddle pattern, initialled AMcT (four marks - RI (twice; eagle twice). £25-£30 | N/S |
| 177. | Robert Keay, c. 1815 - an unusual pair of sugar tongs of long fiddle pattern with shell motif to each arm and shell bowls, initialled ML (four marks - RK to one arm; the other arm RK twice and eagle). £60-£90 | 70 |
| 178. | Charles Murray, 1819 - a fiddle pattern teaspoon, initialled IZM (five marks - CM; and four Edinburgh marks). £10-£20 | 7 |
| 179. | Robert Keay, 1841 - a toddy ladle, fiddle pattern, initialled MY (five marks - RK; and four Edinburgh marks). £70-£100 | N/S |
| 180. | James Wright, c. 1795 - an Old English pattern teaspoon, initialled HIM (three marks - S; double-headed eagle; JW). £25-£35 | N/S |
| 181. | Robert Greig (probably), 1847 - a fiddle pattern teaspoon, initialled HE (five marks - RG; and four Edinburgh marks). £15-£20 | N/S |
| 182. | George Angus (possibly), c. 1820 - a punch ladle, the stem of partly-spiral baleen, with plain circular bowl, tapering socket and ball finial (maker's mark GA only on the socket, possibly over striking another). £300-£500 Recorded marks of George Angus are notoriously poorly struck. ~ As I said in the preamble to this report this was, in my opinion, a questionable Peterhead ladle. Selling for a well below estimate price of £150, others were obviously wary of the provenance of this ladle. What price would have been paid if there had been a PHD or Phd mark?? | 150 |
