More Information

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A CATALOGUE AMENDMENT TO THIS LOT: THE MAKER IS JOHN CAFE AND NOT JAMES GOULD AS ORIGINALLY STATED.

There are no hallmarks to the nozzles. When removed these have some small splits in the barrel, see images.

On the sticks there are remnants of hallmarks on the sconce of one, these are fully worn on the other.

Both are vertical in stature. There are no particular problems on the knopps.

The bases are engraved with a crest, see image, and are of a good heavy gauge. Marked equally with clear marks on the underside. No major problems around the base, other than the later engraved crest.
