Specialist note

The mark, recorded by Ian Pickford, Jackson’s Goldsmiths and Their Marks, Woodbridge, 1989, on page 147, line 10, was attributed by Jackson in 1921 to the silversmith William Keatt, presumably an alternate spelling of Keate. William Keate became free in 1689 and was elected to the Livery in 1705.
