Josiah & George Piercy registered a mark together on 4th January 1812 as spoon-makers. Josiah was George’s father. George registered another mark alone on 16th December 1819 and Josiah on 1st January 1828. They were therefore certainly together at least between 1812 and 1819. They may well have worked together until 1828, when Josiah registered his own mark. Today items by this maker are rare as viewers will see if you do an on-line search.
