I have a set of six goblets and a tray made by the Derby SP Co. in 1907. There is an abbreviation under the date on the bottom of each goblet that reads: "N.S.S.P."

I would love to know what this stands for.

Thanks!

I think the initials N.S.S.P. stands for Nickle Silver Silver Plate.

Other marks for silver plate include; E.P.N.S. (electro plated nickle silver), Silver on Copper, as well as just E.P.

Hope this helps
