Author	Topic: Large Ladle,"JB"
G.MANN Posts: 17 Registered: Feb 2001	posted 09-25-2002 05:03 PM I recently purchased a 14" ladle,in the "Thread" pattern. The ladle is very heavy, so I tested it to be sure it wasn't plated. The marks are a profile, JB in clover leaf, and bird. I would greatly appreciate any help in identifying the marks, perhaps Phila or Baltimore? The figure engraved on the front of the handle looks like a steer or horned ox. Somebody's prize bull? No other engraving. Thank you. ------------------ GMANN IP: Logged

The shape of the cartouche is also suggestive; see my post at A city identifier? Great crest. IP: Logged
