Author	Topic: C. L. Byrd & Co. Sterling Silver Tea/Coffee Set
mrb Posts: 1 Registered: Sep 2004	posted 09-04-2004 10:50 AM I'm not sure what I have in storage. Besides the name listed above, there is a hallmark and all pieces are stamped as sterling 04. I think it may be about65 years old or so. I know there was a C. L. Byrd jewelry store in Shelby County, TN at that time. Would it have been customary for some silversmiths at that time to have put an additional stamp along with the original manufacturer's? Thanks. IP: Logged

If the Byrds were also smiths they may have bought things in a semi-finished state and did the final work themselves, adding their own touches. Could you post photos of these? IP: Logged
