Author	Topic: E.H.H. Smith Pattern ID
Cheryl unregistered	posted 10-22-2002 09:51 PM Could someone suggest a reference for identifying a pattern "pat. 1914" by EHH Smith (I think - marked "<S>") and wholesaled by L. Barth & Son, New York. Other markings, on various pieces of the set include "hotel plate" and "extra sec(?". Any general info about Smith or Barth would also be greatly appreciated. IP: Logged

The specialized in high end plated cutlery--hence the hotel plate you note. Hotel silver needed to be heavily plated because of the use it got. The name disappeared in 1919, replaced by Albert Pick Co. (as per Rainwater). Barth was likely a hotel and restaurant supplier in NYC. IP: Logged
