| GEORGE III SILVER KITCHEN NUTMEG GRATER, Thomas Phipps, James Phipps II, & Edward Robinson II, London, 1812; Royal Coronet & Cypher AF - most likely Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex*
Of heavy gauge, the mounted curved blue steel body sided by gadrooned uprights and a shell and foliate handle, silver ends, the lower end hinged an monogrammed with a coronet (PL. 127, #3, Fairbairn's)* above conjoined script initials "AF" - most likely for Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex*; fully marked on body and lid; lid with gilt interior
*Coronet: PL .127, # 3 , Fairbairn's Crests of The Families of Great Britain & Ireland: "Coronet for the Sons and Brothers of Royal Blood"
*Coronet & Cypher Over AF, Most Likely for of Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex. George III had two sons with the initials 'AF' - His Royal Highness Prince Augustus Frederick (1773-1842) and His Royal Highness Prince Adolphus Frederick (1774-1850). However, due to the differences in life style, the 'AF' on this grater is much more likely that of Augustus Frederick, the Duke of Sussex.
