18th Century Pewter Plate.

Picked this up at the an antique store. I emailed the pewter society to help identify its markings. They responded very quickly. I thought it was pretty neat find!

"This was made by Robert Sadler working next door to The Packhorse, Pilgrim Street, in Newcastle upon Tyne 1734 to 1778. It carries his detrited touch and distinctive London label. Provincial pewterers often used London label to imply quality.

It is probably a marriage plate with the triad R over RC when a man with a Christian name beginning with R married a woman with Christian name beginning with C. Their surname began with R. This was a common custom in the 17th and early 18th centuries in England."

Thanks! I wonder how it ended up in Missouri? I wonder how many people have used it!

Nice piece, great history in it. Imagine it was witness to so much history likely in a casual domestic setting for all those 250+ years overhearing every current event discussed around it, too bad it can't talk.

Since we are venting, I hate it when people, young or old, walk around with their bluetooth ear buds in loudly having phone conversations as they are like walking through the supermarket or something. Like we want to hear your conversations?
