adelapt Posts: 418 Registered: May 2003	posted 04-15-2012 05:55 AM Not able to show a pic unfortunately, as the item has been sold. I was asked recently to identify the maker of a mother of pearl handled fruit set of knives and forks in electroplate. Thinking of De Giovanni's book "Victorian Electroplaters..." and Mappin's "Dealer Guides: EPNS..." sitting home, I blithely said I thought I could do it. Not so! The set of knives was marked with three stars in a clover-leaf formation (EP to one side, NS to the other), and also three capital roman "B" letters in the same shape. It was a lovely clean handle design, with some decorative engraving to the blades. The forks unmarked, but all in the original timber box with brass cartouche let into the lid. Does this maker ring a bell with anyone? IP: Logged
