| DESCRIPTION | Scarce antique English Georgian solid sterling silver egg form nutmeg grater with a steel rasp and fully gilded interior. |
| SILVERSMITH | Thomas Willmore or possibly Thomas Williams. This mark is not recorded in Birmingham Early Silver Hallmarks database but has been seen on similar small items of the period. Thomas Willmore is a well known and recorded maker of such items but intriguingly there is mention of a vinaigrette by a Thomas Williams with the same 1797/8 cusped duty mark but no record of what this maker's mark looked like other than it will be some form of 'TW'. |
| DATE or HALLMARK | 1797/8, no date letter but triple cusped duty mark |
