Hi there:

An interesting puzzle. I am familiar with USN (United States Navy) silverplate flatware, but for the first time I have some that is marked:

    "U.S.C. & G.S."
As usual, this is a "KINGS" pattern piece.

Is this an older name for the US Coast Guard service?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks as always.

The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey had its own ships at the time.

An illustrated historical list of these survey ships can be found at the following link:
