As a non specialist in the non UK Silver area can anyone throw light on a silver mark on an apparently late 18xx to early 19xx pair of salad servers - country of origin unknown, but not a UK mark. The Mark is:- this is followed by what seems to be a B in an offset oval The final mark is an MP above an A in what would best be described as an approximately an inverted Fleur de Lis shape. Any help appreciated Clive. IP: Logged |

Actually, I suspect the pieces are English; the mark sounds like William Hutton & Sons of Birmingham (c 1800-1832) and Sheffield (1832-1930). They made extensive lines of nickel, britannia, and electro-plated wares, as well as steel cutlery and sterling. The long string of marks was typically used on non-sterling goods to give them a bit of cache; the B in a box probably indicates Britannia metal. IP: Logged |
