Which one is "Duke's Powder"?
You may have already done all the research you need on the various
spice mixtures, but just in case you might be looking for more, or
others here might be interested, there is this file in the PLANTS,
HERBS AND SPICES section of the Florilegium:
spice-mixes-msg (76K) 3/25/04 Period spice mixtures. Poudre
Forte, Douce.

Powder Forte has been sold by the Pepperer's Guild, but that is the
only one that comes to mind, so I imagine there is a market both
inside and outside of the SCA. I wonder whether you don't need
celebrity cook status though to sell spice mixes to the general
public. (Notice though, I didn't say anything about having to know
anything about cooking.)

but I've still got lots of digests to read that came in while I was
off at Pennsic)
