I got two of these spoons in an auction lot for $xx.50 (one of the better bargains I've found!). They are marked London, 1851-2, with Queen Victoria duty mark. I cannot find RW in Jackson or in the forum.

Can anyone identify and provide info on this maker?

Thanks,
Tom

Robert Wallis, flatware maker, working from 1838, this mark used 1845-1852.

Hope this helps!

Hi tmockait!

My guess is Robert Wallis. Hope I'm right. Check the online English hallmarks to confirm.

Enjoy the day.
