In 1835 he founded his own firm, W. Carrington & Co, which continued till 1872, when he formed a partnership and the name of the business changed. Though he is often referred to as a retailer and jeweller, he was trained as a silversmith so the several articles of coin silver attrib ...click for details

A fine coin silver gravy boat of good form on three shell-topped hoof feet, beaded rim and leaf-capped scroll handle. It looks earlier than I have dated it but the closest I have come to identifying the maker's mark, S.W & Co, is a reference in Belden to Samuel White of NY, NY, whose mark is S.W, being in a partnership forming a company S.White & Co between 1820-25. Kovel's lists S.White &Co as NY, NY. C.1830, without a maker's mark for the company either.

Quite an early, robust marrow scoop with crisp clear hallmarks, for London 1739, maker John Jacob. The earlier scoops did tend to be heavier but, due to age, did suffer from rubbed, illegible hallmarks. That is what is so exciting, if one could find marrow scoops exciting, about this example. It has all the features you desire: good age, good gauge, good marks. Dimensions: 8.75" long. 2 Troy.oz.
