The firm of William Eley and William Fearn first entered their mark in Jan 1797 where from 1802 they were working a 1 Lovell's Court, Paternoster Row. In April 1808 William Chawner entered the firm until 1814 when the company reverted back to being Eley and Fearn, all the time remaining at Lovell's Court. With the date letter changing on May 30th of the year, this canteen would have likely been produced as one order in 1808, straddling the change in both the company's maker's mark and the date letter.

Length-17.5 cm / 6.9 inches
Weight-239 grams / 7.68 ozt
£2500-3500
These spoons are marked with Lamerie's second makers mark (5-pointed crown) this unregistered mark was used from about 17161, with his third also unregistered mark in use from 1720 on wards. Marked in this deceptive manner to appear like the four necessary hallmarks, commonly referred to as 'Duty Dodgers', for on June 1St 1720 the 'An act for laying a duty on wrought plate' required a duty of 6d per troy ounce be paid on hallmarked silver. While it would suggest that these spoons were produced after 1720 in order to dodge this tax in light of the use of an earlier unregistered mark it can be suggested that these spoons were not dodging duty but were substandard2 and were evading assay. Susan Hare notes of a complaint against Lamerie in 1717 "…'for making and selling Great quantities of Large Plate which he doth not not bring to Goldsmiths' Hall to be mark't according to Law'. After the committee learned that he was currently working on a large quantity of spoons, they decided to defer action to see if he would bring them in to be marked. He was evidently tipped off off and sent them in for hallmarking as no further action was taken against him." 3. Whether this was referring to items not being marked at all or marked in a way like these spoons is not clear, however it is widely known that there is much unmarked silver by Lamerie as well as those with transposed hallmarks4.
