[26-1328] Seeking recommendations for various accurate research books to identify ENGLISH silverplate - the marks/makers and ID's. Rainwater has a fine book for AMERICAN silverplate, but is there a "twin" for English? Please, and thank you. (I realize that this should be posted in the Silverplate forum - I just don't have permission to do so. IP: Logged |

I don't know of one. And this type of book would be a very good idea. All sorts of English silverplate, and Continental for that matter, appears in the US market yet there is no really good source for identifying makers. IP: Logged |

Thank you, Ozfred & DB. Two more books to add to my "must have" list. For the life of me, I don't seem to be able to find #1 ANYWHERE!  IP: Logged |
