Henry Atkins' mark — likely the same Sheffield family name recorded elsewhere in this collection as 'Henry Atkin' on a salver — appears on this child's mug, hallmarked 1891. At 124g and 9cm tall, worth checking whether the two spellings refer to the same individual.

Care and preservation
A treated silver polishing cloth is usually enough for light tarnish; for heavier tarnish use a silver foam or cream, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid silver dip for hollow pieces. Store wrapped in acid-free tissue or a tarnish-proof bag, and keep rubber bands away from silver.

All purchases include free UK delivery. UK orders are sent by trusted couriers, including FedEx, with tracked delivery typically arriving within a week of dispatch.
