Author	Topic: Chicago Silver Co. tray
taloncrest Posts: 169 Registered: Jun 2004	posted 08-31-2014 11:17 AM I acquired this last weekend at an estate sale. It has the Chicago Silver Company mark and what I assume is a pattern name, Revere. Is all Chicago Silver Co. work handmade and is there any way to tell if it was made before or after Gustafson sold the company?

According to sources such as Darling and Evon, CSC focused on spun holloware from the beginning. We've had a number of Chicago Silver Co. objects over the years. A few had hammered surfaces and were stamped "HAND WROUGHT" but most lacked this mark and looked spun. This is a nice tray, but it doesn't appear to be hand wrought. IP: Logged
