Hello Silver lovers:

I need some help identifying, dating and pricing this set. The picture of the hallmarks has been boosted to make them more readable. I needed I can post more pictures.

I guess it is US as I found it here.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration

Andre

Andre - thanks for joining us here....I don't see that mark in my American books. Anyone else out there have a clue?

Hello Uncle Vic:

Thanks for the quick reply Very Happy and the trouble of trying to look it up. Seems it does not readily ring a bell with anybody Confused . Should I try and repost under English silverware? Or sit it out a bit longer Question .

Take Care

Andre - most of us look at all the posts, so let it sit for a while...if you could get a clearer pix of the mark might help. The fact that it does not have the words "sterling" tells us it is probably a silver plated item if American. To my eye the set looks silver plated, not sterling, but that's just my eye on it. Try to get a better focus on the mark for us. There is a vast amount of knowledge here at your disposal....and we all enjoy helping.
