Under that a crown, and then a square with no top in Gothic letters maybe "u s". Then in a square a Gothic "S", then a square a Gothic maybe "G". Under that is reg. which I imagine means the hallmark is registered. I would very much appreciate any information on this. IP: Logged
Stephen Posts: 625 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 05-25-2003 07:59 PM The "Silver on Copper" mark indicates that your item is silverplate. Hallmarks were not used on silverplate. What you've described are not hallmarks. The marks sound vaguely like marks of the Birmingham Silver Co. of Brooklyn, New York and Yalesville, Connecticut. There are several prior posts on this company in these forums. Hope this helps. IP: Logged
