carleen Posts: 2 Registered: May 2003	posted 05-11-2003 12:44 AM [01-1073] Hi, I'm very new to this & I am hoping for some help. I'm looking at buying a sterling (?) dish that is shell shaped. It is marked "QUEEN VICTORIA" in upper case, & has above it what looks like a royal crest of 2 lions facing each other, & a crown above. It has no other markings aside from this. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Sorry but the technology beat me with trying to post a photo. Thanks in advance, carleen IP: Logged

Stephen Posts: 625 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 05-12-2003 06:31 PM It is a mark of Dodge, Inc. of Los Angeles, California. They were listed in city directories (Chicago, Dallas, L.A., Miami, and Newark) from the 1940's to at least 1975. I do not know if they are still active. They appear to be a company who sold only to wholesalers. They offered both sterling and silverplated wares. If your dish isn't marked "sterling", it is silverplate. Is the dish new? IP: Logged
