Lyn
James Yates, as opposed to John or Thomas, who anyway were only spoon makers, not pub equippers, first seems to appear ibetween 1858 & 1862. Before it was Yates & Birch
1862 entry is attached

How do you do it Mike

Astoness, perhaps you could carefully mask off all the black areas surrounding the gold bobbles and then simply paint on the gold with a brush.
I should stress that all the work is in the preparation and the masking off, the painting is easy.
Don't apply the masking tape until the black paint is completely dry and don't remove it until you are happy with the paint on the bobbles.

thanks phil...i think i will leave it at the 2 coats on the top...think another coat would cover up the fact that the top is worn in places and thats taking the originality away from it..its not my aim to make it look brand new..
