It looks like you have a plated set from the 1880s--when Reed & Barton produced a huge quantity of flashy plated goods. The patent mark is key, because it specifies when they got the design patent on the set you have. This was common for plated silver producers in the 1870s and 80s. The Newark public library has the complete 1884 Reed and Barton catalogue, and you might be able to find your set there--if they have had the catalogue photographed. IP: Logged |
