SILVERPLATE TRADEMARKS
Latham & Morton used on silverplate a trademarks made with its "TL over EM into a quatrefoil" hallmark coupled to sets of symbols forming pseudo hallmarks similar to the series of punches used in sterling silver items.
The following two trademarks could have some connection with Latham & Morton. They present similar sets of symbols but have initials "HL" and "JT over B" into lobed contours not corresponding to any known partner of the firm.
The presence of the "crown" suggests that they were used before c. 1895
