Good evening
Still no information on the 'n' mark on this silver plated tray? It really does look like a date letter of some kind.

Thank you for help with the maker. Any idea what the extra n mark could be?Traintime wrote:Wilson & Davis at their Sheffield works (date range given): https://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_W3.html

That form of the date letter for Sheffield silver is 1930/31. It is possible that W&D followed the assay office's date letters on their electroplate.

If the site is correct, they were not around by then anymore. I really love the pattern( and the lovely monogram) and wonder if one can find the pattern name somewhere?silvermakersmarks wrote:That form of the date letter for Sheffield silver is 1930/31.

Good point, Jannie. I should have looked before leaping....
Re: Date mark on large plated tray
I know that Walker & Hall used date letters on their silver plate. Wonder if there are records of W&D doing it? Will need to find some more examples of their work.silvermakersmarks wrote:Good point, Jannie. I should have looked before leaping....

Re: Date mark on large plated tray
If it was brought in for servicing, perhaps a re-plater's date code? It does sit a bit off kilter from the maker's mark.
