Author	Topic: Water Pitcher - T & T
bathompson unregistered	posted 03-13-2004 02:51 PM I have a water pitcher with the following marks. T & I over what appears to be a drum with a box on either side containing an E in one box and a P in the other. Underneath the drum are the letters N S. Under the N S is a 5 digit number (xxx-xx) and under that are the words "Hand Hammered" Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. TIA, BT IP: Logged
Vi Posts: 17 Registered: Jul 99	posted 03-14-2004 12:11 AM I believe the letters are T & T which are marks used by Taber & Tibbits, Wallingford, CT from 1919-1941. According to Dorothy Rainwater's Enclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers, quote: "Trademark was a tabor (small drum). The firm made silverplated holloware and novelties. the firm was started in 1919 by Charles H. Tibbits and R. H. Taber, his son-in-law. They were succeeded by Silvercraft Company." N S is the abbreviation for nickel silver and "Hand Hammered" suggests it was made 1900-1920 during the arts and crafts time period. Vi IP: Logged
