John Fray

London 

There is no prominent historical or contemporary "John Fray" silversmith recorded in readily available archives, suggesting the name might be mistaken or refer to a less well-documented artisan or a different trade, as results primarily point to Fray as a brand of antique tools, like chisels, or other non-silversmithing contexts,The name "John Fray" could be a misremembering of a famous silversmith's name, such as the famous 18th-century Birmingham silversmith Matthew Boulton or other known figures like Nathaniel Mills or Hester Bateman
