I have read till my eyes feel like they are going to bleed trying to identify the Martin Hall & Co biscuit jars hallmarks. I am fairly certain it is plated, but I really would like to know for sure and the date it was made. Furthermore, I have tried Google Lens and other sites, but my eyes are just not that great.
Can’t help with the date, but it’s definitely not sterling silver. Wrong hallmarks entirely.
Oh, yes, I am quite sure it is plated. However, it doesn’t show up in any pictures I can find or in the companies listings. I was really trying to nail down a time period for it and figure out the hallmarks. I know they also made different grades of plated products as well.
Thank you for your time.
It says EPNS in a gothic or Old English style of lettering. So: ElectroPlated Nickel Silver, confirming your feeling that it’s plated. And of course completely undateable.

I tried reading it in gothic before but did not see it till now, Goodness there are a lot of gothic fonts!
Thank you very much, I appreciate everyone’s time.
