Hello All,
I found a hallmarked pewter spoon handle yesterday (tiny one). Its hallmark is composed of four rectangles with the following letters in them:
JO HN YA TES
Does anyone have any information for a silversmith or pewter craftsman named John Yates. I'm trying to date the piece, as well as the site itself. A Half Reale (1789) was found at the site, as well as items dating up to the 1920's.
Regards,
