All I know of them is that they were in business at least as early as the 1920's.

You are welcome, and your English is very good.
English silverplate marks do not have to include a date mark like the English sterling marks do. In my opinion the A mark probably represents the quality or thickness of the silverplate.

International Silver continued to use many of the marks of the old companies into the 1930's. International Silver introduced the Barbour half circle mark in 1921. So, I'd say your piece dates from 1892 to about 1921.

You are welcome. A good book to start out with is Dorothy Rainwater's " Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers". Many people prefer the 4th edition, it has more 19th century marks. The 5th edition has modern marks not in the 4th. I bought them both. As far as English marks go, maybe some of o...

I think that is Elkington, Mason & Company. In 1842 Josiah Mason joined Elkington & Company and from 1842 to 1864 they used your set of marks. Here's a site that should help you:
