Lots 195 to 202 The Col Bibby Collection of Silver. Col S L Bibby CBE amassed a collection of 17 th and 18 th century silver during the last century, some of which was purchased through Mrs How. Seven pieces from his collection were chosen by Mrs How to be included in a magnificent exhibition of English Silver held at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto in 1958. His granddaughter recalls happy memories of family meals with her grandparents in their dining room sparkling with Stuart and Georgian table silver. Most of the collection was subsequently stolen and the family now wish for the few remaining pieces to be enjoyed by others and perhaps used as they were by past generations. Two George I silver octagonal kitchen peppers, both by Glover Johnson, on stepped bases with reeded scroll handles, the pull-off covers with octagonal baluster finials and pierced with fleur-de-lys, one London 1717, with engraved initials G over RE to base, 9.5cm high, the other London 1718, with inner sleeve to cover and slightly different piercing, engraved D over IE to base, 10cm high, 6.7oz (2)
