Note : The haft is a known Sheffield form, used from c1765.  This form is somewhat rare in today’s market Robert Trickett was among the first to register his mark and working address (Plate Worker, Far Field), at Sheffield, on September 15, 1773.  The first registration took place on September 11, of that year, when the Assay Office opened in Sheffield by an Act of Parliament passed in that year (“the thirteenth year of the reign of King George the Third”). It was instituted to prevent confusion with the Old Sheffield Plate made in the region, and also as a result of the poor facilities for transit of merchandise to neighboring offices for proper assay.
