My husband purchased this set at an antique shop. Supposedly it was from an estate sale. The markings are a beaded crown w/a cross top ornament- Fancy letters each in a square B, S, G or C (cannot make the last letter out.) On one piece it has Silver on Copper and the crown w/the same letter pattern and underneath it has REG. I can send a picture if necessary. But I have been looking all over the web and cannot locate these markings anywhere. Please help! Thanks

It sounds like the Birmingham Silver Co., Inc. of Yalesville, Connecticut. The firm seems to have been in operation in Yalesville from 1957 to at least 1974.

Absolutely right, WGS. We had an earlier post about the same marks a while back. So, you have a rather modern, but nice, American silverplate tea set.
