Scotia Posts: 125 Registered: Oct 2003	posted 03-23-2005 11:32 AM Hi there, I bought three Glasgow Silver Tablespoons today. I have dated them to 1837 but can't find the maker. The makers mark is "JMJ." with a superscript "R" above the dot. Is it likely this means JM Junior? Is the maker possibly provincial? IP: Logged

Scotia Posts: 125 Registered: Oct 2003	posted 03-23-2005 11:50 AM Thanks for that. I looked in my copy of Jacksons but could not find the mark, could you tell me where you found it? Was he indeed a Glasgow maker? IP: Logged

Scotia Posts: 125 Registered: Oct 2003	posted 03-23-2005 11:55 AM I have the 1964 Dover edition of Jacksons. I still can't locate Muir, only Muirhead. Is this not the best copy of Jackson's or am I just not looking hard enough? IP: Logged
swarter Moderator Posts: 2920 Registered: May 2003	posted 03-23-2005 12:08 PM The third edition, revised, was issued in 1989. See the book thread in the Silver Ephemera and Documentation Forum for links to more information. The Scottish section has been extensively revised - with your interests, you should have it.
