Recent research by Dr. David Mitchell, op. cit., p. 541, attributes this mark to Thomas King, the son of the clothier Robert King of Bremhill Wick, Wiltshire. He was apprenticed to the plate worker William Mouse in 1649, becoming free in 1657. He established a successful business. He worked closely with Thomas Fowle, a fellow plate worker, who became a successful goldsmith banker. Fowle was knighted the year he was made Sheriff of London in 1686, becoming Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company a year later.
