I have an old tray. In a shield is marked MPA. Also it is marked WH & S B and another letter I can't make out (maybe an "R"). Also it is marked .75. Any information you could give me would be very much appreciated.

The marks belong to William Hutton & Sons of Sheffield and London. The tray is English silverplate. The 75 is some sort of factory inventory code.

The other letter is a P. BP stands for British Plate, a form of nickel silver.
