The town mark struck on this spoon would seem to be identical to that used in Norwich through much of the 16th and 17th centuries, though typically it is used in conjunction with other marks. Colin Ticktum was confident enough to ascribe to Norwich a stump end spoon on the basis of marks similar to the present example (C. Ticktum, The Ticktum Collection, Norwich, 2001, p. 26), though he does mention Southampton and Newcastle as other possibilities which have been suggested, by, in the first instance, Timothy Kent.
