Author	Topic: Has anyone seen this mark before?
hernan Posts: 6 Registered: Aug 2001	posted 10-28-2001 02:03 PM I recently found this beautiful tray. The engraving is really exquisite. The lake scenes go all the way up the inner edge. The only mark I can find is HS Co. and the style number. I have not been able to find anything on this company. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Becki IP: Logged
Louise Posts: 22 Registered: May 2001	posted 10-29-2001 04:36 PM HI It looks like it could be from the Hemill Silverware Inc. Company of NY,NY D. Rainwater lists them as having been in buisines from 1920-1930, but she is unclear as to wether they where manufacturers or silver platers. They also marked things Sheffield HS Co. Check with one of the newer versions of "Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufactures" as I could only find my old edition, #1. IP: Logged

Stephen Posts: 625 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 06-11-2003 10:43 PM The latest edition of Rainwater (1998), as well as the second edition (1975), lists this company as Hemill Silverware Inc. of New York, New York. She is still unclear as to whether or not they were manufacturers or just silverplaters. [This message has been edited by Stephen (edited 06-11-2003).] IP: Logged
