In the 2000 exhibition "Three Centuries of York Silver 1550-1858" 466 items were drawn from collections all over Britain, only 6 pieces from this period were found including Newcastle assayed wares and only 2 of those bore solely York Goldsmiths marks so can truly be said to have been made within the City.

Samuel Brandling was later admitted to Gray's Inn. It is rare to find spoons surviving with their original Armorials, the later Georgian case and re-gilding shows they must have still been treasured possessions within the Brandling family some 150 years later.

The George and Vulture Inn stands today in St.Michael's Alley, Cornhill as one of London's last remaining Chop Houses. It has numerous claims to fame, or at least notoriety being one of the meeting places for the debauched "Hell Fire Club" in the early part of the 18th century. The Drury Lane Actor and Comedian Richard Estcourt founded his "Beefsteak Club" at the Inn. Though it was to achieve worldwide fame in the 19th century as the fictional London residence of Mr Pickwick in Charles Dickens "Pickwick Papers". Several London Inns and Taverns would have their name and address inscribed on valuable silver to discourage less illustrious customers from illicitly removing them. The subsequent engraved initials may refer to it being held for the use of a specific customer or society which frequented the George and Vulture. It is indeed likely that the single "B" in the bowl refers to the Beefsteak Club. Size:* 20cm long Weight: 1oz 16dwt Stock Number: A626 Price: £575
Enlarge	An unusual George III silver serving spoon with mourning inscription maker's mark T (?), London, 1792 Old English pattern, inscribed: *"Thomas Edgcome, Died Dec 18th 1791, Aged 44 years"* Size: 31cm long Weight: 3oz 1dwt Stock Number: A625 Price: £240

Adrian Bancker's mark is usually AB struck within a plain oval, Belden however notes another AB punch within a heart which she tentatively ascribes to Bancker and another version of his mark within a rectangular punch is recorded in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on a silver cream pot (accession no.44.88). With no other candidiate of the period bearing the correct initials it is more than likely that these tongs bear another unrecorded early version of his mark. In excellent original condition.

Several Limerick Goldsmiths were known in the later part of the eighteenth centruy to have adopted a Harp punch outline, as is the case with this mark.
