Hi Thanks for all the replies, I will take some photos of item later his evening and put the pics up on here. Although the problem at the moment with the spoon is that is not very clean. Is it best to leave the spoon in it's current condition and get it cleaned by an expert or attempt myself!! (sounds a bit of an obvious question, when I read it back to myself!!)

Thanks again

Mike

Hi

I have in my possession a 1797/8 Basting spoon made by Richard Crossley. I have researched as much as I can find online and cannot find a value for the spoon as similar items from the same maker vary in price.

It has from what I have researched, The Crowned Leopard, Lion, King George III and the letter "B" which I believe to be 1797/98.

Also there is a crest of what looks similar to the letter B at the tail end of the spoon.

The spoon is 12" long.

Does anybody have any knowledge on Richard Crossley and these spoons and an idea of what the Value of the item is.

Thanks

Mike
