Author	Topic: Is this a maker's mark?
lolabear64 Posts: 8 Registered: Apr 2005	posted 04-25-2005 05:32 PM I have a set of open salts, salt and pepper shakers, and spoons and am trying to identify the maker. The spoons have the letters EPNS on the back and the other items have "Made in England" on the back. I don't have pictures at this time, but can take them if necessary. Thanks! ------------------ Leah IP: Logged
Scotia Posts: 125 Registered: Oct 2003	posted 04-25-2005 05:37 PM Hi, EPNS stands for Electro Plated Nickel Silver, i.e. Silver Plate and the "Made in England" would suggest they are 20th Century. IP: Logged
