Doubt on a date

Hi all (Phil :wink:)!

I’m a bit confused with the marks on this small plate. There are too many!!! :joy:
It seems Sheffield 1894 but what’s the « f »? And the « 77 » with the crown? Any idea folks?? Many thanks in advance and happy holidays to everybody!

I agree that it’s Sheffield, 1894, importer probably Samuel Boyce Landeck. The “F” indicates foreign manufacture. Nice coincidence, see the first image here:

No clue about the crown over 77, but it’s probably from the country in which it was actually manufactured, not applied upon arrival in the U.K.
