3 Shell Condiment tray. Marks unknown to me.

This 10" x 10" condiment server has threaded handle. It is stamped "HA" "EA" "FA" and has image of hand holding bouquet of long stemmed flowers. I know it is silver plate, but have had no luck in identifying the marks. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Some more information for you on Atkin Bros;

Marks used:- H.A, HA, HA EA FA, A B

Trademark:- A hand grasping plumes

Henry Atkin set up as a spoon maker in 1841. He had three sons (Henry, Edward and Frank), who following his death took over the company. Atkin Brothers were a multi-product Sheffield company producing good quality items in silver and plate (the mark used on EPNS was HA EA FA), from 1853 to 1958. The firm had a retail outlet in London, where they also entered silver marks. The firm was acquired by C J Vander, in 1958.

Flatware bearing their maker’s mark is generally Sheffield marked, well made and in the traditional patterns.

Cheers
