Have a piece of Hollowware hallmarked with 3 squares in a row. 1st square has a Crown, 2nd square has an S, 3rd square has a Shield . Maker? Year of Manuf. 1860-1900?

Thanks for any help

Crown - S - Shield is the mark for the Sheridan Silver Co., Inc. of Taunton, Massachusetts. The company was incorporated in 1946. However, my reference shows each symbol in a Romanesque doorway shape - that is, rounded at the top rather than squared off.

Thanks for the reply.

The Hallmark on my piece looks different than what you describe. Here is the picture of the hallmark

Same company, just a variation in the mark design (there were a number of them, remembering back to my retail days at Bullocks).
