[01-1990]

I am absolutely rubbish at identifying silver, although I have had a mooch around the net and found this site, so I thought someone could help a real amateur.

I have this cruet set, crystal glass. The hallmark on the photo is from the spoon which I believe is original to the set, it's 5.5" long.

I can't find a thing on it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Jen

Your item is silver plate indicated by the EP" and "A1" marks, probably dates to 1910-1920.

Many thanks.

But what about the other marks, can't find a thing on those. What actually does A1 mean?

A generally accepted designation of standard grade plating or 2 troy ounces of pure silver per gross of teaspoons.
