Silver tea set hallmarks

Post by markandmel »

I have what I believe is a very old tea and coffee set. I am unsure where it comes from. In my research I have seen a Deykin and Harrison stamp that appears to be similar however the 3rd symbol does not match. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Yes, a clear image of a set of silver plate marks. The tea set is made of a non precious base metal and silver plated; adding on a silver 'skin' or thin layer of silver.
The marks in Gothic letters B&G S, not sure but perhaps for: Boardman, Glossop & Co. Ltd. of Sheffield

For electroplating see;

The base material could be nickel silver see:

I think there is a good possibility that the letters are B & C S. The gothic C and G are very similar so I'm not certain. B&C might well point to Brookes & Crookes of Sheffield.

Thanks for help, I am fairly sure it's Boardman, Glossop and Co. Is there any way to determine when it was manufactured?
