Author	Topic: "WW" 18th cen. mark
Fitzhugh Posts: 136 Registered: Jan 2002	posted 09-25-2002 03:32 PM Folks, would anyone have any suggestions? I have a great little 18th cen. ladle, fresh out of middle Virginia, with a "WW" mark. My first thought was Waddill, but apparently MESDA has an example with a comparable mark with a Charleston SC provenance. There was a Wm. Wright who worked both in Va. & in Sc. Any thoughts?

wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 09-26-2002 10:22 AM Here is the mark and the ladle ---- A handsome piece with interesting form. The mark looks very much like that shown for William Whetcroft (1735-1799) in Baltimore Museum's Maryland Silver. He worked in Annapolis, 1765-1767; Baltimore, 1767-1769; and Annapolis again, 1769-1790. IP: Logged
