These spoons in the fiddle shape are marked A. LANCASTER then P&R before the Lion facing left in an oval, George (I think) in a circle, and G in a circle. On one of them the P&R is stamped over part of the LANCASTER. Can you have British spoons of this early era with only 3 hallmarks? Thank you. IP: Logged |

It sounds like the spoons may be American rather than English, perhaps made by Americus or Arman Landcaster, both working in Philadelphia c 1835-1850. The P&R, overstamping the Landcaster, sounds like a retailer's mark. Can you provide a picture? IP: Logged |
