As a new member I think I have to comment here on a question that Mark77 posed under "British/Irish Sterling". In the mid 18th century small items such as teaspoons were marked simply with the lion passant and the maker's mark. Script JT cannot be for Harvey - it would need to be JH.

I should have added that if the right hand edge of the punch is worn or overlaps the stem and the suggestion is that what looks like a T is actually half a script H, it really would need a photo to be able to comment.
