of Regent Works, Regent Street, Birmingham. T.A.: Regent, Birmingham. Telephone: Central 2310

1858 With <b>William and George Sherrif Sherwood</b> as directors, the company could be found in Litchfield Street.

1870 This was their address when they registered their silver mark, <b>J S/&amp; S</b> in shield at Sheffield Assay Office. The same mark, with or without pellet, had previously been registered at Birmingham Assay Office in 1858.

1871 The partnership broke up and with <b>William</b> now at the helm, along with <b>other Sherwoods</b>.

1886 The company expanded so much that it relocated to Regent Works, Regent Street.

There can be very little doubt that <b>Sherwood'</b>s wanted their plate-mark to look very similar to a Sheffield Assay mark. A practice in which they were certainly not alone. Of 17 Sheffield platers using a crown in one form or another, no less than 13 had registered a silver mark at the Sheffield Assay Office. Platers in Birmingham must have thought the crown carried a marketing message too. Of the 15 platers having a crown as part of their plate mark only one had not found it necessary to register a silver mark at an assay office.
