hi! this is from a silverplated footed small meat tray with the tree of life pattern. manufacturer initials JG -- you can't really read that 'G' very well. i took several photos but that letter just won't show well. i did check the www.925-1000.com site recommended. possibly john gilbert??? but it's not exact. thanks so much for your help. bobbie

Bobbie, thanks for joining us again. It looks to me like one of the zillion American marks of the Rogers clan of silverplate makers....the first set of letters looks to me like "EPNS" for electro plated nickel silver, the second set of letters seems to be "RSPCo" , probably "Rogers Silver Plate Co".....but I can't find the logo that is above the letters as a match in my books. But Rogers marks are like trying to find the birthdate of Moses.....no kidding.

Anyway, my best guess. How about it readers?

Uncle Vic

I think the RSPC stands for the Rockford Silver Plate Company, Rockford, Illinois.
The JG stands for Jewelers Guild.

I have a piece (sort of a punch-pattern cake plate) with exactly the same hallmark. J-crown-G, RSPG EPGS. Did you ever figure out what it is?

I found some images of the Rockford Silver Plate Co. marks on silvercollection.it, and they don't look anything like mine.

Thanks,
LP
