The present mark, recorded by I. Pickford (Jackson’s Goldsmiths and Their Marks, Woodbridge, 1989) on page 129, line 15, has been attributed to Simon Romney by Dr David Mitchell in his new work Silversmiths in Elizabethan and Stuart London Their Marks and Their Lives, Woodbridge, 2017, pp. 496-497. Romney became free in 1662, having been baptised in Knightwick, Worcestershire in April 1640, and being appointed to the Livery in 1674. Mitchell suggests that besides having an active workshop he also ran a retail operation. He was known for producing a variety of forms including six recorded tankards (Mitchell, op. cit., p. 496).
