Hello,

I have a plate that I would like more information about. I've read a year of past posts, so have already learned quite a bit.

The stamp says "Meriden Silverplate Co. Quadruple Plate"

The number stamp is 1771.

Inside the stamp cirlce appears a lion holding something (a vase?) or a very funky horse standing on all fours. If it is a lion, it is much cruder than the Meriden images I've seen on the net.

There may also be a number 11 or the letter H stamped on the bottom edge.

Inside the bowl of the plate is stamped a (frontier?) image a boy, girl, and baby in high chair. The girl is holding a treat aloft for a dog.

Base on what I've read, I'm guessing the the plate dates between 1869 -1898.

Is the 1771 a catalog number?

Is there somewhere I might read the original description or see a rendering of the original plate?

Many thanks for any help.
