Looks like a mark used by the E.H.H. Smith Silver Company, Bridgeport, Connecticut.
In business at least as early as 1904.
Reorganized as the Blackstone Silver Company in 1914.
Taken over by the Albert Pick Company in 1920.
Sorry, don't know the pattern.

Thanks for the Info. The mark looks very similar. Did they do plate, and sterling? I wonder if they are silver plate or not.

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks in advance.

I know EHH Smith produced silverplated flatware. Don't know if they produced any sterling.

I believe your flatware is silverplated. On American silver, made after roughly 1870, if it's not marked sterling or .925, then it's silverplate.

I believe your pattern is "Martha Washington," silverplate, 1910, E. H. H. Smith, and can be seen on the Replacements Ltd. website under National Silver.
