I own a silver oval footed platter by the Birmingham Silver Company. I need to find out if it is plated or sterling. It is not marked that it is plated and I know that some pieces made by this Company when plated are marked so. There is a REG under the BSCo marks. What does this mean? I can't find anything about pieces made by this Company... Thanks

The Birmingham Silver Co. (Brooklyn, New York, then Yalesville, Connecticut) made sterling and silver-plated wares.

If your piece is not marked "sterling" it is silver-plated.

The "REG" means that the trademark is a registered trademark.

Hope this helps!

E-mail received re this tray --

Thank you for responding to my questions regarding the footed Sheffield serving tray. It as the Birmingham silver company crown on it and the initials REG in a oval circle. Do you think it could be worth anything. Please email me at ...


All silverplate is worth something, even if it is only a tax deduction. Value of your item would be based primarily on style and condition. Sorry, I don't provide valuations in this forum or via E-mail.
