Jackson’s records a William Welch of
Plymouth Dock dated between 1758 and 1809 and a second William Welch from
1801 to 182?. Neither of the marks shown in Jackson’s show a pellet between
the two W’s. For the purposes of sugar tongs, I am going to assume that
there is only one William Welch. In fact all the William Welch maker’s
marks are the same for all the antique Georgian silver sugar tongs that I have seen. There is a good
deal of discussion over the William Welch maker's mark, particularly
concerning whether or not there was a pellet between the two W's. I
have therefore shown all the maker's marks from antique Georgian silver sugar tongs that I have.
