John Fisher was the son of William Fisher
and they entered a mark together, as plate-workers on 16th August
1793.
William & John Fisher
then registered as spoon-makers in 1797. John entered his mark
alone on 22nd February 1799 as a small-worker. John Fountain was registered as a
plate-worker and whilst being a plate-worker does not rule him out of
making sugar tongs, it does make it less likely
|
John Fuller entered a mark as a small-worker in 1804. These tongs could well be his, but I have no idea whether he actually made sugar tongs |
John Fisher - Did enter a mark with his father, and there are several examples of sugar tongs by John & William Fisher - so they clearly made sugar tongs when they were together. |
On balance therefore, it seems to be more
likely to be John Fisher than either of the other two.
However - I would never attempt to state for certain that they are John
Fisher - you just cannot be sure.
