Author	Topic: HRS&Co with Union Jack mark
bamaj1 Posts: 32 Registered: Jul 2002	posted 07-01-2002 05:42 PM Ran across an interesting silverplate mark (also stamped EPNS) that has an unfurled Union Jack flying over a plain rounded crown, with the letters HRS&Co underneath the crown. Is anyone familiar with this maker? Thanks in advance! IP: Logged

smfc75 Posts: 122 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 08-15-2002 01:44 AM "HRS&Co" is a mark of Henry Rogers, Sons & Co. of Sheffield, England, used 1897 and later. The flag with crown is a mark of the same company, used 1896 and earlier. Interesting that both marks are on the same piece. I'm not sure what that means, but my guess is that the piece was made 1897 or later. [This message has been edited by smfc75 (edited 08-15-2002).] IP: Logged

She attributes it to Henry Rogers, Sons & Co. in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and says "Listed in JC in 1909 in plated silver section. No record after c.1915." Hmmm.... Same firm? IP: Logged
