Welcome to the silver forums! Your marks actually tell you what you want to know, in this case. PAT'ED is short for patented, and the patent date would be December 10, 1916 or 18, depending on whether the last number is the 6 or the 8. This patent is likely for the design itself. Most pieces of a patented design were made within about 10 years of the patent date, so your set probably dates from between 1916 and 1930. I hope this helps! Brent IP: Logged |
