Introduction
Hello, and Happy New Year. I hope you all had a good break over the festive period and are looking forward to the year ahead. Only a few turned up on 1st January for the non-existent First Tuesday meeting (ha ha, just kidding!). If last year is anything to go by, we will be seeing many more interesting and rare spoons turn up for sale in the postal auction. I know from the comments I receive there are lots of very happy members who are delighted with their purchases over the year, whether it’s a rare Scottish maker, a lovely early spoon or a rare pattern that has been missing from their collection. And this issue’s postal auction is no exception as it continues with a great selection of pieces to choose from. And don’t forget, if you have any articles that you are contemplating writing about or have feedback, please send it in. Wishing you all the very best, Daniel.

Feedback Mark Nevard emails: Members may be interested in an incuse steam engine mark, which I came across recently on a silver Hanukkah, as used in Jewish religious services. The piece was assayed at Minsk in Belarus in 1896 and further research established that the city was not only the hub of the railway in Belarus with direct links to Berlin and Moscow, but was a heavy engineering centre still building engines, now diesel, for the railway.
The engine shown is of 2-2-2 formation with very large driving wheels and possibly a cowcatcher on the front, reflecting the sort of engine manufactured in the early years, the railway being set up around 1870. A rather jolly advertisement for local industry on a religious piece.

Mr Crosbie's Chariot
By Michael Baggott
On the afternoon of the 19th January 1785 Mr Crosbie stepped into his ‘Aeronautic Chariot’ (nowadays more commonly called a hot air balloon) in the grounds of Ranelagh Gardens and took to the skies over Dublin, witnessed by 35,000 onlookers. A contemporary engraving survives, held in the National Library of Ireland, depicting the event showing Crosbie waving to the gathered crowds standing in the gondola suspended from his distinctive striped Balloon. Prints weren’t the only commemoratives produced that recorded this event. The enterprising Dublin silversmith Benjamin Tait, who had only registered his mark a year earlier, seized the opportunity to produce a now famous wine label, engraved with a depiction of Crosbie1. This image is almost certainly taken from the print.
One can imagine that ‘balloon fever’ had gripped the entire city after Crosbie’s brief initial flight, so much so that the Lord Mayor of Dublin latterly went on to ban balloon flights on account of the time people idled looking up into the sky! It is safe to conclude that anything depicting ballooning was, albeit briefly, the very height of fashion in 1785 Dublin society. We can now say that Benjamin Tait did not let this brief mania pass without taking full advantage of selling more than labels to the good folk of Dublin. This is attested to by the recent discovery of a fine pair of sugar tongs, which have matching engraved, ballooning decoration to both arms.

A Sentiment of Equality
By George Forbes
It is always a delight to spot an item of silver, which bears some connection to past research. Such was the case with this marrow scoop made in the 1820s by William Simpson of Banff. It was the crest on the marrow scoop of Sir James Dunbar of Boath, which brought back memories of genealogical research done some years ago into my Shetland ancestry.

The following narrative is, for the most part, the account of James Dunbar himself, from his captain’s log, letters to the admiralty and an article written by him for the Naval Chronicle in 1807. It describes, in great detail, the passage of the Astrea from Yarmouth to Copenhagen at the end of 1806, and of the hazards faced at sea. It begins with the appointment of Lord Hutchinson, soldier and diplomat as the special envoy to the Prussian court. Downing Street November 20th 1806. From George Canning to Lord Hutchinson: My Lord, His Majesty having determined to send an officer of high rank and experience to the Headquarters of the Prussian Army as well as for the purpose of furnishing to the King’s Government all the information which it is material for them to obtain of the present state and condition of that army as for concluding a treaty of peace and alliance with Prussia etc. Your Lordship will proceed to Yarmouth without delay to embark on a Frigate now ready for your Lordship’s reception.
Astrea, Yarmouth, Captain’s Journal, 23rd November 1806: General Hutchinson and attendance embarked. Manned the yards and fired a salute. On the 30th November, the Astrea was passing the southern shores of Norway, when, in the words of James Dunbar: “on a sudden, without the smallest indication whatever that such an evil was impending, one of the most terrible gales of wind broke upon us, that the oldest seamen ever witnessed. The roar of its sudden burst is yet in my ears’. With the rigging badly damaged she managed to work her way to safety, but in the Cattegat, under full sail, ‘the ship struck with great violence, going ten knots with the wind free’. She had struck on a reef at Arnholt Island at seven o’clock in the morning… We immediately hoisted signals, and fired guns of distress - but in vain. Not a soul from the shore put off to assist us in any way. Several vessels passed us, indifferent spectators of our distress, and insensible to every indication we made to them of our dreadful situation: their crews were as callous as the reef of rocks. The mizzen masts were cut away, and 26 of the 32 guns were thrown overboard, along with most of the heavy provisions “still the vessel laboured hard, and the water was rushing through her bottom, in a degree that left no man the hope of being saved. Before it gained considerably a great quantity of ballast was thrown over. Being aware that the boats could not contain Lord Hutchinson and suite, together with the crew, I ordered rafts to be made of the remaining booms in the event of her going to pieces.” At this awful moment, it was only a British man of war that could exhibit so noble a display of cool and sober heroism. The conduct of every man in the ship was great beyond all praise. Although impending death had levelled us all to a sentiment of equality, and though every man expected momentary engulphment, still not a voice was heard but the command of the officers from one end of the ship to the other - not a face betrayed fear - not an instance of turbulent despair; every man was displaying, in this sort of passive courage, as much heroism as if he were grappling with the enemy. The miraculous efforts made by the crew, with all the pumps, kept the water from gaining wholly upon us. At half past four o’clock she thumped still more violently and desolation seemed at hand; at this very crisis, and while we were in the midst of all this exertion, to our astonishment, and to our horror in some respects, I had the happiness to find her forging over the reef and afloat! She was still shipping water at the rate of twelve feet an hour, and with jury masts rigged and every hand taking his turn at the pumps, she attempted to make Elsinore. “At about noon (the following day), and exhausted almost to death, we arrived at Elsinore and anchored in safety. The exertions made by the officers and ship’s company, their coolness, obedience and strict attention to my orders, merit much more than any encomium of mine”. To His Majesty’s Minister at Copenhagen, Lord Hutchinson wrote: “That the preservation of the ship and persons on board is entirely due to the spirit of resolution during 24 hours of extreme hazard, of Captain Dunbar, his officers and men”. The experience was to prove too much for some of the crew. A dozen men deserted at Copenhagen, although Dunbar had little difficulty in making up the numbers, since there was an ample supply of merchant shipping in the Baltic. The Astrea had been badly holed and had lost most of her coppering. Running repairs were affected at the Copenhagen shipyards, and on the 19th January 1807 she left Denmark to limp home. At Sheerness, repairs, re-provisioning and re-ordnancing was to take three months. In April, the Astrea again set sail for Yarmouth, to retrace her voyage to the Baltic. On this occasion, it was to provide passage to the Earl of Pembroke, who was journeying to Vienna as the Ambassador-Extra-ordinary
.6.
to the Austrian court. The weather proved kind, and she arrived in Copenhagen at the beginning of June, but the route south to Vienna from that port was blocked by Napoleon’s ‘Grande Armée’. The Earl of Pembroke finally disembarked at Memel, in present-day Lithuania, but at that time part of the Prussian Empire.

A Tale of Two Spoons
By Tim Kent F.S.A
At the Woolley & Wallis on the 30th of October 2018, two spoons of fascinating interest (among others) were acquired for a leading collection. Lot 875 (Fig. 1a) came from the David Constable collection and disclosed an excellent provenance, having featured in part VI of the Griffin Collection (Bonham’s 21st March 2003, Lot 168) and before that in the stock of Messrs. How of Edinburgh. In length 24cm (9.25”) it has the good weight of 2.2 troy ounces and is in mint condition, with original guidelines visible. Details are recorded in David Constable’s book The Silver Spoons of Britain 1200-1710 at pages 638-9 of volume 1.
Fig. 1a The marks are those of John Pike I of Plymouth. In the bowl a town-mark (Fig. 1b), which he used, St. Andrews Cross crowned pellets representing the towers which feature in the town arms. This is repeated on back of stem, together with a crude Lion Passant and maker’s mark ‘IP’ in rectangle (Fig. 1c). The bowl back is pricked with initials ‘AP’ over ‘ES’ and the date 1688, which is correct and original.

Fig. 2a Lot 910 (Fig. 2a), from a different stable, is 20.3cm in length and weighs 2.3 troy ounces with very clear Exeter town-mark in bowl, and Edward Anthony's mark thrice on stem (Fig. 2c). Its most impressive feature is the very large cast finial, a bearded elderly Saint, possibly St. Matthew with his moneybag. The original pricking on bowl back reads ‘ML’ over ‘AM’ with the date 1640.
Fig. 2b Fig. 2c The whole spoon is in very fine condition. Interestingly, other examples of this Exeter casting are known bearing the marks of other local goldsmiths, who must have shared it or possibly acted as retailers. The collection already contained another specimen (Fig. 3) with mark incuse ‘D’ struck thrice on stem (Fig. 3c), for Richard Deeble who had been Edward Anthony's apprentice. That example, with original gilding, is pricked ‘IF’ over ‘AF’ with the date 1639. Slight differences in the finials are due to tooling, and the caps of course are different.
Fig. 3a Edward Anthony is well known as a prominent spoonmaker. Born in 1591, by 1624 he was living in St. Martin’s parish with his wife Dorothy. Rated at £3 in goods for 1629 and 1641 assessments, his long life ended with burial at St. Petrock’s church, Exeter, on 7th February 1666/7. Anthony was a zealous Puritan, and became involved in acrimonious litigation with Sir Richard Vyvyan, who set up a mint at Exeter when the city was under Royalist control. I am sometimes asked how Anthony with his Puritan principles, could have produced so many apostle spoons, which could have been regarded as ‘superstitious images’. The answer lies in the reality that ‘business is business’. Customers wanted Apostle spoons and they got them!
