Chester Marrow Scoop, 1722

This is an extremely rare George I period silver marrow scoop made in Chester by Thomas Maddock and bearing his "Ma" maker's mark. Taking the usual double-ended form, the larger scoop is engraved with original "KI" initials and the central shank is clearly hallmarked with the Chester Assay office marks. This good-sized scoop is in fine condition throughout.
