I have searched my available resources for some time now exhausting all. Can you help me with these marks. They appear to be woodward and grossjean, Boston 1843, but exact hallmarks are not a match. Being EP they cannot exceed the 1840s? Right? Also are these demitasse coffee or small teaspoons? Thank you, IP: Logged |

Charles, I saw that you had a few problems putting in the url of the photos. I assisted you by correcting the above. Please take a look at the FAQ and UBB Code links, it should make things easier going forward. A little bit later I will try and look into your question. Maybe Audrey will jump in before me. Off the top of my head it looks like English Silverplate. For an opinion about demi or coffee we will need to know the size. IP: Logged |

PS. Why did you do this post in this Forum (20th Century Silver Arts & Crafts) instead of the General Silver Forum? IP: Logged |

I can not make out the last mark, but I would be very surprised, based on the general appearence, if they weren't late Victorian by an English plate-maker. I have seen dozens of similar presentation sets -- they seem to have been the 1880's wedding present equivilent of the 1980's chafing dish. IP: Logged |

Geez, you go away for a few hours and all hell breaks loose (Just Kidding!). Anyway, I agree with wev; this set is definitely English silverplate. It may even be as late as the 1920's or 30's. George Mappin's new book on English plater's marks does not illustrate your exact mark, although he does show a W & G S mark, ascribed to a Watson, of Sheffield, England, working 1897-1940.
