You are correct; they are Sheffield 1959. The maker is Viners:
Marks used:- EV
Trademark:- a five point crown
A large Sheffield based out-fit founded in 1900 and the most well-known Sheffield manufacturer from the 1930’s to 60’s. Much of their flatware is fairly average in quality, but they were innovative in producing new patterns and followed trends rather than solely churning out traditional patterns. One of their most popular patterns is Sandringham. They went out of business in 1982.
The following books are those I can recommend as good reference sources for any collector of antique English silver.
