I have some spoons that are marked OVD with a line of something running thru the middle of the letters. Silverplate or sterling?

Thanks!

I'd bet it is OVB, not OVD. OVB stand for "Our Very Best", and was used as a trademark on plated goods by Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. of Chicago, IL. They were mainly a hardware retailer, but had their own line of "fancy goods" like this.

Brent,

Thanks for your help. I couldn't get a close up of the mark. It's either too small or my camera just isn't good at very close up small detail.
