MARKS - HALLMARKS - HISTORY
Samuel Godbehere was not apprenticed through the Goldsmiths' Company nor was a Freeman of the Company. He entered his first mark as plateworker at 86 Cheapside in 1784, succeeding to James Stamp (goldsmith and jeweller). In 1786 Samuel Godbehere began the partnership with Edward Wigan, entering the new mark on 13 September. In 1787 the partnership was registered as Godbehere, Wigan & Co (late Mr. Stamp's) 'working goldsmiths' (1787-1796). On 15 March 1800 a new mark was entered as S. Godbehere & Co, adding James Bult's initials. In this case the sign was Goodbehere as opposed to Godbehere in the first entries. Edward Wigan apparently left the partnership in 1818, when a new mark was entered (16 September) with Godbehere and Bult only. The new partnership had a short life as in 1819 (13 July) Bult's mark alone was entered.
