I'm not sure the shield has a letter in it. I think it might just be stripes, as on the Great Seal of the United States.

Here is a better image:

I wish it were coin silver. But there are scratches underneath which show a copper underlay. The figural boar's heads also show a tiny amount of rosing. But it must be very thick silverplate as the surface really does look like coin silver.

Found on large high quality silverplated urn circa 1860 - 1870. The urn is marked with the retailers name, "E.V. Haughwout & Co New York." This retailer opened at 490 Broadway in 1857. The building still stands & bears their name. The urn is also marked with an eagle mark I don't r...

Yes, it's very common for large serving pieces, such as cake servers or carving sets, to have sterling handles and silverplate blades. The sterling handles are called "hollow" meaning that the handle is filled with steel and cement, with silver only on the outside.

An image of the mark has been emailed to the site.

Coin silver engraved fish set, circa 1850. Looks like a New York mark, similar in form to Albert Coles with "V" instead of "AC" and the bust facing the other way. Does anybody recognize the mark? If not, there is a new unknown mark for the site. TIA, Nadine http://imgs.inkfrog.co...
