9/13/2010 0 Comments Circular plaque with anchor markI've mentioned before that I've kept a spreadsheet of which Dixon marks appear on which plaques. The evidence suggests that the 'Dixon, Phillips and Co' anchor mark was used between 1834–1850. Whereas the 'Dixon Co' mark was used from 1851–1865. See the new Plaque dates page for more details. The plaque above, recently sold on eBay, is the first circular plaque I've recorded with the anchor mark. It seems likely that it was made in the late 1840s. We know that Moore & Co were making similar circular plaques with 'Sporting' scenes about that time.
