<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 3745936, member: 73165&quot;]I bought one of these a while ago in silver from a reputable eBay seller I trust on these sorts of things.&nbsp; Until now, with the link to Montagu&#039;s book, I hadn&#039;t been able to verify the attribution, but it does look to be a Montagu 18.&nbsp; It has a lot of luster, so, I would give it a minimum grade of AU58.&nbsp; Best of all, it was offered in a true auction, so I ended up getting it for ~50% of retail!</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller&#039;s pics collaged together below:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1004719[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m curious about is how the date 1689 gets attached to these.&nbsp; Is it just because that&#039;s the first year of William and Mary&#039;s reign?&nbsp; If these are assumed to be patterns, that makes some sense.&nbsp; Otherwise, I&#039;m not sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
