This item is Hand Chased and it says "Sheffield Reproduction" on the bottom with the number 1756. Above it is an image of an Aladdin's Lamp, with the initials B P above it. Does anyone know where and when this was made? or what company used this Aladdin's Lamp symbol? I have a photo, but don't know how to post it. thanks, Bonnie

Hello Bonnie.
Might be a silverplate mark for Benedict-Proctor (c.1910-1970).

Pat,
that is exactly the image at the bottom of the third example from Benedict Proctor. And it also says English design, as the sample does on the link you gave me. Do you have idea what the number 1756 below the imprint might be?
you have helped me tremendously. thank you so much, Bonnie

Hello Bonnie. Happy to help.
The number 1756 is just a catalog or pattern number.
Pat.
thanks so much
