In this Forum we discuss the silver of the United Kingdom, as well as British Colonial silver and Old Sheffield Plate. Past British - Irish Sterling topics/threads worth a look. |

[26-2660] Hi, Thank you for stopping in. I purchase this serving set at an estate sale and was told it was sterling. I did a quick search and only found a silver plate serving dish with this mark. Thank you for your help. IP: Logged |

Hi Cyn! What else did they say about it? It's a little hard for me to see but can you write out the letters, & is that a lion facing left? It's hard to say if you were taken given the fact that we don't know what you paid.......that aside, there are some very desirable silver plate manufacturers. It is a very pretty set. Also, a word of caution when buying something. If the seller says it's-------& you are not sure, ask if you may return it if it is not what they proport it to be. Any reputable seller will let you do this. Also get a receipt with the description. If they won't do this because all is sold no returns, as-is, don't buy it or else caveat emptor, and take you chances. My 2 cents for the day! Jersey IP: Logged |

Hi Jersey: The hallmark stamp is WH & SB (I can't make out the last mark either). IP: Logged |

Didn't see the pictures, but based on your description of the marks, your items sound like English silver plate. IP: Logged |

Possibly the silver-plate mark of William Hutton and Sons of Sheffield, but I too haven't seen the picture. [This message has been edited by agphile (edited 06-03-2008).] IP: Logged |
